Sadly in the cases of some birth injury, there might be a permanent damage to the infant’s state of being. There are certain types of injuries that families might need assistance with. Some of these include:
- Paralysis
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Birth defect
- Birth Injury
- Loss of limb.
These types of injuries can burden a family emotionally, physically and financially. Life Care Planners can develop a personalized treatment plan to ease this burden of providing care to a family member with a permanent disability. Life Care Planners have many roles and include the following:
- Permanency in disability might require changes to the home, such as making it wheelchair accessible.
- Arranging a plan of action for the end of a hospital stay. Life Care Planners can assist in determining where the family member might be best taken care of, whether it be in their home or in a rehabilitation facility
- Planning for appointments with physical therapy, specialist and primary care physicians.
- Meeting transportation needs.
- Assisting with paperwork.
- Management of finances.
Having a special needs child can be overwhelming for parents and caretakers. Life Care Planners can help caregivers provide the best care possible for their loved one.
