GETTING STARTED
After a thirty minute complimentary phone conversation, if our services are a fit for you our team begins the assessment process.
NEXT STEPS
From the information gathered in the assessment process, we will create a comprehensive plan of action based on each individual client's situation.
​
OUR PLANS
We offer two approaches to aging life care: a comprehensive care program and a proactive planner program.
THE PROACTIVE PLANNER PROGRAM
We plan for weddings, babies, higher education and job training — and funerals.
But do we plan for aging?
​
Even if all is well, the experiences of friends, neighbors and family members can serve as incentive to consider the need for an adviser or advocate in the future. Establishing a relationship with Aging Life Care Charleston before one’s life situation changes dramatically can ease any difficulties that may arise. As we get to know our proactive planner clients, we become their trusted advocate, advising on long-term planning, acting as their liaison in estate, financial and home-care and health matters, and giving them the confidence that they will continue to build their own future.
​
Typically this program is for clients who do not need active care management, but want to plan for their future.
