ABSTRACT
A plethora of information has been written over the years about resources that can and should be used in life care planning. As life care planners, we know that the person with the most accurate, accessible, and thorough resources is the winner in the life care planning arena. Without proper resources that are easily accessible, understandable, and updateable, the task of completing a competent, thorough, and accurate life care plan can be formidable. In the authors’ experience, most life care planners spend the majority of their time researching information for the plan, rather than actually formulating the specific components for the plan. Therefore, the life care planner with the competitive edge is the one who has a multitude of data from a variety of sources, encompassing a large pool of information, rather than just the basics involved in setting up the outline for the recommendations for the life care plan.
