Life Care Planning
The
Kabb Law Firm uses the acclaimed Life Care Planning approach to Elder Law. The Life Care Planning approach is an integrated, elder-centered process led by our team that includes an Attorney, a Public Benefits Coordinator and a Social Worker (who we refer to as the Care Coordinator.)
The Life
Care Plan is the solution our team creates that provides an organized, concise plan for
the current and future legal, financial and care needs of an elder loved one.
The
Plan takes into consideration the goals, concerns, ideas and opinions of you
and your loved one, so that we can all arrive at a personalized solution that
suits your loved one's particular needs and circumstances.
You
should also know that, unlike traditional elder law firms which focus on saving
the elder's money for the next generation, one of the tenets of the Life Care
Plan is that your loved one’s funds should be devoted to maximizing their own
quality of life and independence.
The Life Care
Plan will change as circumstances change.
We
develop the Life Care Plan based on you or your loved one’s immediate legal,
financial, and care needs.
But we don’t
stop there – our team stays in the picture, guiding decisions down the road when the
necessary level of care changes, adjusting the Life Care Plan details
accordingly.
If and
when nursing home care is needed, the family will already have a plan in place
to access public benefits as well as to find and pay for needed care.
Instead
of reacting to crises as they occur, our advanced planning enables elders and
their families to avoid the crisis that occurs when last-minute decisions must
be made about their elderly loved one's long-term care.
