Life Care Plan
Ommi Health has the expertise to create individualized Life Care Plans in Canada, offering a comprehensive blueprint for an individual’s lifelong care needs.
What is a Life Care Plan (LCP)?
An LCP is a more detailed and extensive COFC. It is primarily used in catastrophic cases. It is a detailed report that outlines the long-term medical, rehabilitation and support needs of individuals with catastrophic injuries or chronic health conditions. It encompasses the individual’s entire lifespan, outlining current and future medical needs, personal care, transportation, assistive devices and equipment, support services, home modifications, as well as vocational, educational and psychological support.
It is a dynamic document report based upon published standards of practice, comprehensive assessment, data analysis and research, which provides an organized, concise plan for current and future needs with associated costs for individuals who have experienced catastrophic injury or have chronic health care needs.
Life Care Plans are used in legal, medical and financial contexts to ensure individuals receive appropriate care and to estimate long-term costs for compensation or damages.
Like a COFC, an LCP is completed in the individual’s home, care-home or other place of residence. The assessment may be split up over several assessment days and treating providers are typically consulted. Other experts that are typically consulted include home modification/accessibility experts, seating specialists, specialist physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language pathologists.
The LCP serves as a blueprint for an individual’s future care.
Who Needs a Life Care Plan and its Benefits?
An LCP is crucial for individuals with severe injuries or chronic illnesses that necessitate ongoing medical care, rehabilitation and support services. These plans are often utilized in legal and insurance settings to estimate future care costs.
LCPs are typically used in catastrophic injuries, medical malpractice and birth injury cases such as cerebral palsy.
Conducted by occupational therapists or certified life care planners, these assessments provide a comprehensive outline of the individual’s future care needs and the associated expenses over their lifespan.
