Life care planning is a detailed, personalized plan that outlines an individual’s current and future medical and non-medical needs resulting from a catastrophic injury, chronic illness, or disability. It serves as a roadmap to guide patients, families, and healthcare providers in ensuring that comprehensive care and support are available throughout the individual’s lifetime.
Life care plans are beneficial for individuals of any age who face significant health care needs due to a catastrophic injury, chronic illness, or disability. This includes conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, stroke, chronic diseases, and other conditions that require long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and support.
