Are you overwhelmed and exhausted caring for your spouse or older parents?

When you find yourself suddenly thrust into the role of caregiver, you may feel enormous pressure and anxiety as you try to determine the best route forward.

Are you concerned you may not have legal authority to act on your loved one's behalf?
Are you worried that your loved one's legal documents may not be in order?
Are you losing sleep worrying about how to pay for a loved one's care?
Are you feeling panic-stricken over having to put your loved one in a care home?

We get it. We’ve been there. When being a caregiver demands 100% of your time, you don’t have any time left to spend in your most important role: as a spouse, a daughter, a son, a family member.

Families with a plan cope better in a crisis.

Most of us will enter old age unprepared for what could happen to us. Life Care Planning is the solution: planning ahead for the possible costs of future impairment and long-term care in advance, granting you freedom from the anxiety over how to pay for care and saving you substantial money. By being proactive instead of reactive, you can ensure quality care will be affordable and available in the future.

Is Life Care Planning expensive?

We so strongly believe in the advantages of having one coordinated team that our flat fee is always less than the total you would pay to separate providers who you may not have free access to, and who may not work in full coordination with one another. When viewed in light of our comprehensive services, the cost of Life Care Planning is reasonable and a smarter economic choice. Once our flat fee is paid, there will be no hourly billing or further fees due to us for the term of our engagement. This gives you the freedom to call us whenever you have questions or concerns. From our perspective, you become a member of our family who we are honored to assist.

Caring for an older loved one can be challenging, but you don’t have to face it alone. Call us today and let us help ease your burden so you can enjoy your loved one’s “sunset years” alongside them.

You have exceeded my expectations with current information on Medicaid, and what options for availability of care homes, etc. My biggest concern before hiring [you ...] was the cost of the service. It did not come true because I saw the value we gained from your service was reasonable and worth the price.
