What is involved in a Life Care Plan?
Anticipating common aging-related or disability-related life challenges and planning for how to successfully conquer them.
Planning in order to minimize the stress, financial problems and family strife lack of planning causes.
Completing necessary legal documents, and documenting one’s likes and dislikes, wants and needs and financial plans.
