Life Care Planning: Secure Your Future with Peace of Mind

Are you concerned about the uncertainties that lie ahead as you or your loved ones age? Do you worry about how to navigate the complex world of healthcare, long-term care, and estate planning? At Khaled Elder Law, we understand the challenges that come with planning for the future, which is why we offer comprehensive Life Care Planning services.

Khaled Elder Law will customize a care plan just for you! This plan will serve as a road map to help you and your family meet the inevitable challenges of caring for an aging family member. The approach may continue for the duration of the client’s life. Attorney Khaled will rely on an inter-disciplinary team (geriatric care manager, nurse, and care coordinator) that works to identify present and potential future care needs, locate appropriate care if so desired and needed, and ensure high-quality care. This approach relies less on crisis-oriented responses and more on the development of on-going relationships with families.

What is Life Care Planning?

Life Care Planning goes beyond traditional estate planning. Life Care Planning is a new approach to the challenges created by people living longer, with more disabilities, and often with less resources and assistance. It's a holistic approach that focuses not only on the legal aspects of planning but also on providing personalized care and support throughout the aging process. The goal of Life Care Planning is to promote and maintain the good health, safety, well-being, and quality of life of elders and their families. Elders and their families get access to a wider variety of options for care as well as knowledgeable guidance from a team of compassionate advisors who help them make the right choices about every aspect of aging and their well-being. Our team takes a multi-disciplinarian approach by working together to create a customized plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Often families feel overwhelmed by the amount of information and choices, and may not know who to trust. The goal of Life Care Planning is to promote and maintain good health, safety, well-being, and quality of life of elders and their families, all with the advice of independent professionals.

WHAT IS LIFE CARE PLANNING… in real life terms… what it looks like…

 · Our inter-disciplinary team will make sure you get good care, whether that care is at home or outside the traditional home setting. Getting good care is the most important of all goals, for it goes to the very heart of your quality of life in your later years. Your Life Care Plan is focused first on your good health, safety, and well-being.

· Julia and her inter-disciplinary team help you make decisions relating to your long-term care and special needs. Julia will help you where you are in your life, where you want to be, including providing bill paying services, tax return assistance, and any level of oversight and/or advocacy that may be needed in your life or your loved one’s life. Even down to daily chores and tasks…

· Julia and her inter-disciplinary team help you find sources to pay for good long-term care by coordinating access to public and private funding sources. The firm works with you through the maze of choices and options to find the best, or often, the most comfortable solution to the asset protection problem created by the need to pay for quality long-term care

All planning is done from your perspective, reflecting your personal values and preferences. Other questions we will help you and your family navigate may include:

· What health care, chronic care, and long-term care services are available to me?

· How can I get the good care I need and desire, whether in my own home, in an assisted-living facility, in a child’s home, or in a nursing home?

· How will financial and health care decisions be made for me if I cannot make them for myself? Who can I rely on to make sure that decisions to be made are the right ones?

· If I can’t take care of myself, who will make sure my spouse continues to have a good quality of life?

· If there is a health care crisis, what will we have to do? Where do we turn for the help we need?

· How do I know I am getting good care?

· Who will advocate and intervene for me if necessary, to ensure my right to quality health care and long-term care?

· How do I assure my financial security as I get older?

· What public benefits am I entitled to, and what do I have to do to qualify for them? Should I rely on Medicaid or other government benefits to help pay for my care?

· Should I buy long-term care insurance?

· How do I apply for benefits?

· What kinds of insurance do I need? Should I join a Medicare HMO?

· How and when should I distribute my assets? Can I save taxes and avoid probate?

· Do I have to spend all of my money on my care, whether in my home or in a residential care facility such as a nursing home? How can I protect my assets to take care of my spouse, to ensure I get good care, or to leave to my children?

· How do I provide for family members with special-needs?

The sooner attention is given to these questions, and solutions put into place, the better the chances that someone can age at home, preserving dignity and independence. Timing is everything! Julia can help you plan with certainty!
