Your Family is Most Affected by Your Extended Care Needs

Providing care seriously impacts the emotional and physical well-being of the caregiver. In this instance, a caregiver is an unpaid individual (a spouse, partner, family member, friend, or neighbor) involved in assisting others with activities of daily living (ADLs), coping with a cognitive impairment, and other medical tasks. Formal caregivers are paid care providers in one’s home or a care setting (daycare, residential care facility, etc.).

An extended care plan serves the purpose of designating specific roles for family members, ensuring your safety within the community. Notably, none of your family members will be tasked with the physical care or financial responsibility for your well-being. This is meticulously planned, well before the need for care arises. However, none of this happens magically, it must be thought of ahead of time using a Family Care Plan.
