Cost of Future Care Assessment

A Cost of Future Care Analysis is a comprehensive report which sets out items, goods and services which have been identified as being reasonably necessary to attempt to restore the injured client back to the position he or she would have been in had the injury never occurred. The objective of such an analysis is to identify those items and services which may be required to maintain his or her physical, cognitive and psychological health, maximize his or her independence and safety, and replicate as closely as possible the lifestyle he or she would have experienced had the injury or illness not occurred. An analysis of the individual’s status and function prior to and subsequent to the injury or illness sets the stage for a determination of anticipated and related costs. A Cost of Future Care report lays the foundation for disability management throughout a person’s lifetime.
