Life can sometimes take unexpected turns, especially when serious injuries or health challenges arise. In these situations, having a solid life care plan can make all the difference. A life care plan is a comprehensive document that outlines an individual’s current and future needs, including medical treatments, living arrangements, and daily support.
At BANA LAW, our goal is to help you create a life care plan that protects your well-being and financial security. Below is an easy-to-follow guide that meets California’s legal standards based on statutes such as California Probate Code § 2351.2 and California Welfare & Institutions Code § 14139.33.
Why Do You Need a Life Care Plan in California?
A life care plan is important for anyone who has sustained serious injuries or faces long-term health concerns. It helps map out the necessary medical interventions, ongoing therapies, and any special services you might require. It also guides financial planning for future expenses like rehabilitation, assistive devices, and even home modifications.

How Do You Start Your Assessment?
The first step is to assess the person’s current health status. This involves talking with doctors and specialists to see what treatments are necessary now and what might be needed later.
Under Cal Prob Code § 2351.2, it’s also wise to look at the individual’s living situation. Will they need a more accessible home? Or will they require ongoing caregiving support? These questions help determine the best path forward.
What Details Should Your Life Care Plan Include?
A life care plan should paint a complete picture of a person’s future needs. According to California Welfare & Institutions Code § 14139.33, services in a life care plan might include in-home care, adult day services, or rehabilitation.
Below is a list that highlights key elements often included:
- Medical Treatments and Therapies: This covers doctor visits, surgeries, medications, and therapies like physical or occupational therapy.
- Caregiving Support: Outlines who will provide day-to-day help, whether it’s a family member, nurse, or home care service.
- Living Arrangements: Describes the current home setup and any upgrades needed for accessibility or safety.
- Financial Planning: Estimates monthly costs for housing, food, transportation, and other daily living expenses.
- Legal Considerations: Ensures compliance with state laws, including any waivers under Cal Health & Saf Code § 1507.3 for terminally ill patients.
