Proving Effective Representation for Life Care Planning

At McCulloch & Associates, we use the terms long term care planning and life care planning interchangeably to describe the range of legal, health care advocacy, and financial protection services that we provide.

We integrate and coordinate services for families who want to carefully consider the quality of life, physical comfort, and independence of an aging parent or loved one. Effective long term care planning may avoid the need for hasty nursing home placement or ineffective home health care arrangements.

A Team of Professionals Addressing Your Individual Concerns

Our lawyers and staff, including an elder care coordinator, will work with you to identify your family's needs and to determine the resources necessary to address these needs. Our objective is to secure the highest quality care possible for your parent or loved one, at the appropriate level consistent with his or her functionality and your family's circumstances.

Preparation of a life care plan may include:

• Assessing your parent's medical, cognitive, and emotional condition
• Identifying the service options available for addressing your particular circumstances
• Budgeting the expense of comprehensive life care services and establishing ways to meet those costs
• Identifying the particular services your parent will need or prefer under different health, mobility, or cognitive function scenarios
• Tax planning
• Incorporating long term care strategies into standard estate planning instruments such as a will, power of attorney, advance health care directive, or trust, as appropriate.
• Asset protection or management strategies
