At Jarvis Law Office, our practice is focused on Elder Law.  However, we've taken elder law to the next level.  We call this new paradigm, life care planning.  With a traditional elder law practice, the attorney will advise you on how to protect your family's assets from being lost to nursing home expenses.  While we provide that advice as well, we go far beyond that.  While we believe that asset protection is important, we also know that the individual's health, safety and quality of life are much more important goals.  As such, our life care plans stress these areas, while at the same time putting an asset protection plan in place.

Life Care Planning combines asset protection and care coordination into a single convenient package that answers all the tough questions about your loved one's long-term care, now and in the future. Life Care Planning is the ultimate protection for elders and their families.

With Life Care Planning  the elder gets the right care sooner, maximum independence for as long as possible, and the ability to age with dignity. Familes get help finding the right care and services; guidance with legal, health care and long-term care decisions as the elder's condition progresses; and security because the spouse and dependents are provided for.

Life Care Planning Provides Asset Protection and More
Like a traditional estate and asset preservation plan, a Life Care Plan includes the legal protection needed to safeguard assets, honor your loved one's wishes and provide for family members. But it doesn't stop there. It describes how your loved one's long-term care, financial, physical and psychological needs will be met. It's a roadmap for total legal care with two simple goals: to maximize your loved one's quality of life--until the end of life--while preserving wealth for your family's future.

Life Care Planning Can Help You Get the Right Care RIGHT NOW
With a Life Care Plan ,you never have to wonder if you're doing everything you can for your loved one. Your Life Care Plan Team surrounds you with the resources, support, and guidance you need to make decisions with confidence. You are never alone! Our team has the experience guiding families through situations like the one you may be facing now. We have access to the resources you will need to protect your loved one's quality of life.

When Doing Life Care Planning What's in the Plan?
Your Life Care Plan includes the services of an Elder Law Attorney, Geriatric Care Manager, Registered Nurse, and other members of our staff who work together to coordinate care, maximize quality of life and protect family wealth for future generations.

Life Care Planning is designed to achieve three primary objectives:

• Help you ensure that your loved one gets appropriate care, whether at home or in a residential facility 
• Locate public and private sources to help you pay for long-term care while solving the asset protection problem created by the high cost of care
• Give you and your family the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your loved one is safe and getting the right care

Depending on your needs, your loved one's Life Care Plan will include some or all of the following services:

• Legal Service to protect assets, coordinate public and private resources to pay for long-term care, and preserve family wealth for future generations
• Advocacy Services to help you get the highest quality health care and long-term care for your loved one 
• Care Coordination Services by in-house experts such as a registered nurse, geriatric care managers and medical social workers who do whatever is necessary to protect and promote your loved one's quality of life 
• Medicaid Assistance by experienced staff who understand your options and help you make wise choices and resolve problems

Once your Life Care Plan is written, it is a living document that changes along with your loved one's changing needs.  It remains in force until the end of your loved one's life.
