What is Life Resource Planning?
Life Resource Planning involves a team approach to help better the lives of seniors. This approach identifies community resources, optimizes financial resources, arranges caregiver support, reduces stress, and promotes healthy living. You can say that it's all encompassing because it deals with both financial and the emotional needs of a senior and their family.
There are 4 main areas of focus:
1. Identifying Funding Resources to Pay for Eldercare
2. Estate Preservation
3. Lowering Costs
4. Eldercare Solutions & Support
When is a Life Resource Planner Utilized?
The need for a planner is typically initiated due to the aging process. For example:
- a senior's family realizes that their parent or loved one's savings will run out
- a senior's health is failing and a plan of action is needed
- a senior's living arrangements are changing and eldercare solutions need to be found
- a senior wants to be proactive to avoid being a burden on family and protect assets
It is often at this point that one or more of the children of the aging parent will seek direction from a life resource planner. Sometimes the senior himself or herself will contact us. However, most of the plans are created and implemented as a partnership between the adult children and aging parent.
What Can a Life Resource Planner Help With?
Think of your Life Resource Planner as a personal advisor who brings all the pieces of the puzzle together not only with their knowledge but also utilizing the expertise of professionals in many areas as needed to bring solutions to your specific needs.
