What is a Life Care Plan?

A Life Care Plan is an Action Plan that sets forth what we are going to do to keep Mom safe and independent at home. Our Elder Care Coordinator who is a licensed social worker will come to Mom’s home to meet with Mom and the children, spouse or caregiver.

This is a free consultation where our Elder Care Coordinator will get to meet and visit with everyone who is going to be involved in taking care of Mom and helping her make decisions. Our Elder Care Coordinator will explain the details of a Life Care Plan and what she thinks can be accomplished with a Life Care Plan. If Mom and the kids want to proceed, our Elder Care Coordinator will schedule another visit to perform a formal life needs assessment to determine Mom’s abilities and needs and what Mom and children want to achieve. Our Elder Care Coordinator will take that assessment and prepare an Action Plan with a number of recommendations of what needs to be done to meet all of Mom’s needs at home and what needs to be done to keep Mom happy, safe and independent at home.
