What Is Life Care Planning?

LCP is a holistic, client-centered approach to elder care designed to provide medical, financial, and social support, as well as legal guidance, for seniors and their families under one coordinated plan. Life Care Planning is more than legal documents or Medicaid applications. It’s a proactive support system built around the evolving needs of seniors.
Through LCP, we ensure your loved ones maintain their autonomy for as long as possible. Receive the right care at the right time and maintain their dignity-always. At the center of this service is a dedicated Elder Care Coordinator (ECC)—your family’s personal liaison.
