Nurse Life Care Plan

 

Nurse Life Care Planning is defined as the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities for individuals and families affected by catastrophic injuries, and chronic and complex health conditions. Nurse life care planners apply advocacy, judgement, and critical thinking skills using the nursing process to develop long-term or lifetime plans of care.  These plans include the future costs of identified interventions and associated costs for health maintenance, health promotion, and optimization of physical and psychological abilities for the life expectancy of the individual. 

A Nurse Life Care Plan may include:

  • Medical Care, including:

    • Physician visits

    • Diagnostic testing

  • Occupational, Physical and/or Speech Therapy

  • Mental Health Counseling

  • Medical equipment and supplies

  • Medications

  • Skilled nursing facility care

  • Home Health Care 

  • Adaptive transport vehicles

  • Home renovations
