Navigating elder care can be challenging, especially as families face tough decisions about healthcare, finances, and legal matters. At Legacy Law Firm, we understand the unique needs of families and offer comprehensive life care planning that addresses every aspect of care, from medical to financial to legal. Our goal is to provide you and your loved ones with quality care while also making sure that care remains sustainable for the long term.
What is Life Care Planning?
Life care planning (also known as elder care navigation) utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to create a holistic plan to deal with legal, financial, medical, and emotional issues involved in growing older. For example, our elder care coordinator, who has her undergraduate and master’s degree in Social Work, will work closely with you or your loved one’s care providers to make sure that appropriate care is being provided, they are receiving the right type of help and maximizing benefits and resources, and that you or your loved one doesn’t “fall through the cracks” trying to navigate the intricacies of long-term care. Our elder care coordinator works hand-in-hand with our elder law attorneys to ensure legal needs are also being addressed, such as appointing a power of attorney so bills continue to get paid, and naming a person you trust to make medical decisions in event of incapacity.
The most important goal of elder care navigation and life care planning is to enhance your quality of life, or that of your loved one. This begins by ensuring the best possible quality of care, whether at home, an assisted living facility, or a nursing home. We will help you determine and locate the type of care best suited to your unique situation and explore all the assistance options available.
