Catastrophic and chronic pain injuries have life-long implications. A Life Care Plan (also called a Future Cost of Care Report) identifies all of the extraordinary costs associated with an individual’s injury, both now and in the future. The Life Care Plan is an educational tool that is designed to educate the client, family members and health care professionals about the individuals future needs (related to their injury) and creates a plan of action to decrease or eliminate the risk and severity of future complications from those injuries. A well-written Life Care Plan gives the individual, family and support team a clear path to follow throughout the individual’s life and takes into account any probable future injury-related health changes.
There are many uses for a Life Care Plan. Insurance companies, WSIB and lawyers use Life Care Plans when negotiating a settlement. The injured individual, their family and their case manager will use the Life Care Plan as a road map to guide them through the most effective steps to improve the individual’s rehabilitation and quality of life. Life Care Plans are always individualized and specific to each situation.
