What is a life care plan?

A life care plan is a type of disability planning law in California which is designed to provide care for individuals with disabilities. It is a plan to ensure that those individuals have the necessary financial resources, medical care and even housing needs available to them in the event of an incapacity. The plan is created by a professional who specializes in disability planning and is typically based on the individual’s medical history and current needs. The plan should include an inventory of any medical or other assistance needed, as well as an estimate of future needs. The plan should also include an analysis of the individual’s current financial situation, including income, assets, liabilities and so on. The plan should also include recommendations for how the individual should fund future needs, such as through insurance, government benefits or private investments. Additionally, the plan should also include an outline of a plan to manage any assets the individual may have. The goal of the life care plan is to ensure that the individual with a disability is provided with the best care possible.
