So much of the planning that seniors talk about are end of life plans. Trust, wills, powers of attorney and even health care powers of attorney are all designed to take care of things that happen at the end of life. What about a life care plan?
What is a Life Care Plan?
A life care plan is something that you prepare to deal with the case of a debilitating injury or disease. This would be something that would require long-term medical care and possibly have some sort of rehabilitation needs as well. A life care plan will stipulate just how relatives, doctors and loved ones are to follow out your wishes in a situation where something like this strikes you unexpectedly.
Who is it For?
A life care plan actually encompasses anyone who has involvement in your life. This could mean doctors, relatives, children or even close friends. Anyone who you wish to have a hand in assisting you in recovery or in life care services that may be needed because of the injury or disease. A life care plan will spell out the roles you wish these individuals to take in your care and recovery.
What are the Benefits?
The main benefit is that loved ones will not have to make difficult decisions for you. This takes the burden of difficult decisions from your loved ones and places your wishes directly in a plan that you dictate.
