Our Process Begins with You
Evaluation
First, we get to know you. Through meetings, at-home evaluations, and document review, we carefully assess each family or individual situation. We look at legal and financial details and desires, living arrangements and care availability options, and assess access to public benefits like Medicaid. Then, we prepare a unique, fully-developed, understandable legal, financial and social service plan.
Life Care Plan Development
From the evaluation, we create an Action Plan tailored to your specific needs. This Action Plan spells out a cumulative plan to address your legal, financial and social service requirements. Our Elder Care Coordinator is dedicated to your Plan. Your Life Care Planning Agreement assures you of a lifetime commitment of service for one single fee.
