Medical Cost Projections
Many times following an injury, family members must step in to provide care for their loved one. While this support is often given willingly, ongoing caregiving responsibilities can lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial strain on the family.
I complete detailed task analyses to document the care needs currently being provided. This includes identifying the nature, frequency, and duration of each caregiving task, as well as the level of assistance required. Properly documenting these tasks helps establish the true scope of care, supports future planning for outside support, or long-term care resources.
