Special Care Planning
Our SpecialCareSM Planners are trained to understand the financial and emotional dynamics of financial planning for families with special needs. We can help you work through issues such as creating a life care plan, guardianship, special needs trusts, protecting government benefits and more. We take a client centered approach to SpecialCareSM Planning meaning that we work with other professionals (attorneys, bankers, CPA’s, medical professionals, social workers) and parents to make sure that everything works in conjunction to benefit your loved one with special needs.  - Primary focus is on the person with a disability or other special need.
- Develop a Life Plan that enables that person to obtain the BEST possible quality of life in all areas of life.
- A Life Care Plan incorporates basic need, goals and strategies.
It may seem overwhelming to consider addressing the unique financial needs of your family, but our planners will be with you every step of the way. Why is SpecialCareSM Planning Important? "The single greatest concern on the part of families today (who are caring for a loved one with a disability or special health care need), once a confirmed diagnosis of their child or loved one’s condition is made and a treatment regimen established is "what is going to happen to my child after I am gone?’ Parents today know that because of advances in medical technology and care, their child will likely outlive them, which was not the case twenty years ago; therefore planning for the future becomes a high priority for them"
