A life care plan is only as strong as the clinician behind it. Mine is built by a practicing Nurse Practitioner.

Nurse Practitioner-Led Life Care Planning in California

Life Care Plans for Attorneys, Estate Planners, and Fiduciaries

A life care plan answers one question: what will this person need, and what will it cost, for the rest of their life?

Every medication, therapy, specialist visit, piece of durable medical equipment, home modification, and hour of in-home or facility care, projected over a lifetime and tied to what that care actually costs.

For attorneys, it supports future medical damages. For estate planners, it informs special needs trusts and long-term care planning. For trustees, conservators, and professional fiduciaries, it provides a clinical roadmap for managing funds responsibly and documenting the decisions you make.

As a practicing Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of nursing experience across a stroke unit, ICU, and emergency room, I don't guess at future medical needs. I assess, order, and manage that care in clinical practice every day.

That means every recommendation is grounded in current standard of care and what treatment actually looks like right now, not what it looked like a decade ago.

Please note: my formal life care planning certification is currently in progress.

Life Care Plan and Care Needs Review

Sometimes the plan already exists. The question is whether it holds up.

Whether it was prepared for litigation, a trust, or a conservatorship, a life care plan is only as strong as the clinical reasoning behind it.

I review existing life care plans and care budgets the way a treating Nurse Practitioner would: for what's missing, what's inflated, and what the medical records don't support.

Know whether the funds set aside will actually cover the care that's needed.

Make decisions about settlements, trust funding, and long-term care with clinical clarity instead of guesswork.
