Brain Injury Life Care Plans
At Intercoastal Consulting & Life Care Planners (ICLCP), we understand the critical need for comprehensive care following a brain injury after catastrophic injury. We specialize in Brain Injury Life Care Plans (mTBI or TBI) that are designed to identify cost associated with supporting patients and their families through the complex journey of recovery, rehabilitation, and independence over life expectancy. By combining our expertise in the field of life care planning and in collaboration with the treating medical/non-medical providers, we can work to identify and quantify the cost of future medical and non medical needs.
Understanding Brain Injury
Brain injuries can have profound effects on an individual’s physical abilities, cognitive functions, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Whether it’s a traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting from an external force or a non-traumatic injury due to other medical conditions, the impact can be life-altering. Recognizing the spectrum of challenges faced by brain injury survivors, ICLCP works to offer tailored care plans that encompass the full range of medical, rehabilitative, and support services needed over time and objective cost data to support future care following injury.

Our Approach to Brain Injury Life Care Plans
Our Brain Injury Life Care Plans start with a comprehensive assessment and review of records in addition to an interview with the evaluee and their family as able to establish an understanding of their condition and level of needs. This assessment may consider:
- The severity and type of brain injury
- The individual’s medical history and current health status
- Cognitive, emotional, and physical abilities
- Personal goals, lifestyle, and family support system (Pre/Post Accident)
ICLCP works with the evaluee’s team of specialists including but not limited to neurology, rehabilitation, and psychology. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that every aspect of care is considered and quantified including items such as medical treatment and long-term rehabilitation to psychological support and home modifications.
Ongoing Support and Adjustments
We recognize that the path to recovery and adaptation can evolve over time. Our care plans are dynamic and may change in the patient’s condition, progress, and goals. Regular assessments and updates ensure that the care plan remains aligned with the patient’s needs and aspirations.
