PLANNED LIFETIME ASSISTANCE NETWORK OF PENNSYLVANIA

CARE MANAGEMENT SERVICES - WE ACHIEVE OUTCOMES IN CRITICAL LIFE AREAS SUCH AS HOUSING, MAINTAINING WELLNESS, ACQUIRING BENEFITS, OBTAINING PAID WORK OR A VOLUNTEER POSITION, BUILDING SOCIAL SUPPORTS AND MAINTAINING PERSONAL FINANCES. OUR EMPHASIS IS TO FILL THE GAPS IN PUBLIC BENEFITS TO ASSURE HAPPINESS, HEALTH AND MEANING IN EVERYONE'S LIFE. SOMETIMES WE WORK WITH A PERSON OVER A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME AND THEY END SERVICES MORE STABLE AND CONNECTED. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE LONGER ENGAGEMENTS THAT SPAN YEARS OR EVEN THEIR LIFETIME. SOME ARE LIFE CLIENTS, BUT UTILIZE SERVICE INTERMITTENTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH NEEDS THAT MAY PRESENT IN THEIR LIVES.

SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST ADMINISTRATION - WE SERVE AS A FIDUCIARY OF SPECIAL NEEDS TRUSTS SO THAT PEOPLE WITH A DISABILITY CAN PRESERVE THEIR BENEFITS AND SET ASIDE ASSETS TO SUPPLEMENT THOSE BENEFITS. AS A CORPORATE FIDUCIARY, WE MANAGE ALL ASSETS IN THE TRUST FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIARY. WE ASSIST THE PERSON OR FAMILY WITH UNDERSTANDING HOW TO SET UP A SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST, DEEPENING THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF OPTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES. IF NAMED AS THE FIDUCIARY, WE WORK WITH THE PERSON AND SUPPORT SYSTEM TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE TRUST OPERATES AND ESTABLISH GOALS. WE DETERMINE A BUDGET, DEVELOP AN INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND ESTABLISH A SHARED UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TRUST ASSETS INTEND TO BE USED. THE TRUST MAY HOLD INVESTMENTS, LIQUID ASSETS OR REAL PROPERTY. OUR FIDUCIARY SERVICES FOCUS ON ASSISTING THE BENEFICIARY TO STABILIZE AFTER A TRAUMATIC LIFE CIRCUMSTANCE, GAIN LONG TERM STABILITY AND ACHIEVE ONGOING HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND MEANING IN THEIR LIVES. WE ENGAGE FINANCIAL AND LEGAL ADVISORS AS WELL AS COMMUNITY CONTRACTORS AND PROFESSIONALS TO PRESERVE THE ASSETS IN THE TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PERSON WITH A DISABILITY.
