I want to get legal advice

Your future is a thing of mystery; however, after meeting with an elder law attorney to prepare your life care planning document, it will be assured no matter what.

Life care planning is especially important for people living with chronic illnesses and various disabilities. There will come a time when their needs will only increase in terms of assistance with activities of daily living and medical care. With careful life care planning, every aspect will be covered, starting with the most important one: the money needed to pay for your care.

Life care planning consultants put your wellbeing and interests first.

What Is Life Care Planning?

The term life care planning is in use since the International Conference on Life Care Planning in April 1998. A life care plan is a legal document prepared by healthcare professionals and life care planning law firms, detailing every aspect of your future medical care in the golden years. Using standards of practice, data analysis, and an individual in-depth assessment, life care planning consultants create a list of the person’s needs, evaluate their costs, and identify sources of financing.

In this way, the person in question will never have to depend on their family’s ability and willingness to care for them or support the costs for their ongoing care. Instead, they will rely on a legally enforceable document, which cannot be challenged.

The plan usually includes:

Evaluations by health care professionals
Therapy
Medication
The need for orthotic or prosthetic devices
A living will

The life care planning consultants will include your specific instructions and stipulations with regard to your care. In this way, should you become incapacitated in the future, or otherwise unable to explain your wishes, the instructions included in life care planning will speak out for you.

Reasons to Hire a Professional Law Firm to Prepare Life Care Planning

The answer to this question depends on each individual case. However, the Statutes of Pennsylvania offer guidelines concerning the basic conditions required for being eligible to express your wishes:

The individual is at least 16 years old
The individual has graduated from high school
The individual has married, or
The individual is emancipated

An experienced life care planning attorney can give you more specific information depending on your circumstances.

Life care planning law firms rely on the legal provisions applicable in their state of practice to create enforceable documents. Some of these provisions are:

Title 20 Chapter 54 – Health Care from the Consolidated Statues of Pennsylvania
MGL c. 201D Health Care Proxies of the State of Massachusetts
42 USC 1396 a(w)(1) Patient Self Determination Act
42 CFR 489.100 Advance Directives.

Any document prepared by licensed life care planning consultants will be fully in line with the laws currently in force. This document will cover critical aspects of ongoing care, such as:

Therapies
Diagnostic testing
Medical and adaptive equipment
Aids for independent functioning.

Prescription and non-prescription medications
Home/facility care
Surgical intervention

Life care planning safeguards your future and plans for the ongoing care you require.

Great help with estate planning

Steve did a great job of helping us with our estate planning. He gave us options and explained how each one would fit our situation. Once we decided how we wanted our estate set up, he was quick to follow up and get things in place. ...

A true humanitarian among attorneys.

Before entering elderly law. Steven was instrumental in supporting and guiding me in my discrimination suite against my employer. I have a disease called Meniere's disease, which causes cases of uncontrolled vertigo. I was hired by a rather large multi-billion dollar company to work as a B operator in one of their extrusion departments. They were well aware of my condition upon hiring me. In this department there are two types of operators. A and B. A operators were responsible for putting up the machines. They were responsible for fixing or making changes. They were also required to climb the high towers that fed the lines with the product. B operators were responsible for production, product inspection and wrapping. And they remained on the floor. After several years in their service. They decided that I could no longer perform my duties as required. Even though my responsibilities of a B operator did not include me climbing the towers. They also refused to make accommodations for me. They then decided to move me to another department and force me to take a pay cut. I knew what they were doing was illegal and against the Lilly act and advised them so. They proceeded to tell me they were in their legal rights and there was nothing I could do about it. I started looking for an attorney to help with my problem. One lawyer even told me "I should be thankful I even have a job!" Feeling defeated and about to give up hope. Steven answered my ad, and informed me that I was within my rights to seek legal aid in this situation. He walked me through the procedures step-by-step. And was always available to answer any questions, or to advise me on handling the ongoing difficulties with my employer. And knowing my financial situation, was willing to work with me on that as well. I won my case with him right there by my side supporting me to the very end! I cannot say enough about Steven. He is truly a wonderful attorney, and I have already recommended him to several people, and will continue to do so.
