LIFE CARE PLANNING & TESTIMONY
Life Care Planning is a rehabilitation and long-term needs assessment of the reasonable and necessary case-specific goods and services required for an individual with a catastrophic injury and/or chronic health care needs to maximize his or her health and independence.
Life Care Plans are prepared by professionals with advanced training in Life Care Planning, Catastrophic Case Management, and Rehabilitation. Specific educational and professional preparation in medical, nursing, therapeutic, and rehabilitation fields, coupled with nationally-recognized credentials in Life Care Planning, Case Management, and Rehabilitation Counseling are indicators of proper preparation in determining the selection of a Life Care Planner.
DEFINITION OF A LIFE CARE PLAN
"A Life Care Plan is a dynamic document based upon published standards of practice, comprehensive assessment, data analysis, and research which provides an organized, concise plan for current and future needs with associated costs, for individuals who have experienced catastrophic injury or have chronic health care needs."
