Physician and Rehabilitation Expertise
Life Care Plans developed by Mattson and Canter adhere to the Standards of Practice for Life Care Planners, Third Edition, developed by IARP, the International Academy of Life Care Planners, published in 2015. We seek to comport with the definition adopted in 1998: "The life care plan is a dynamic document based upon published standards of practice, comprehensive assessment, data analysis, and research, which provides an organized, concise plan for current and future needs with associated costs for individuals who have experienced catastrophic injury or have chronic health care needs." Our life care plans are unique to each and every individual and consider life expectancy, social factors, pre-existing conditions and medical history after the event prompting litigation.
