Abstract: The provision of home care in a life care plan is often the most costly area addressed by the life care planner (Pomeranz, Shaw, Sawyer, & Velozo, 2006; Weed, 1998). It has been reported that the provision of home care constitutes up to 44% of recurring disability-related rehabilitation costs (Harvey, Wilson, Greene, Stripling, & Berkowitz, 1992). It is imperative, therefore, that the life care planner fully understands how home care is provided, the cost associated with each type of service provision, how to identify resources for service provision and the indirect costs associated with family members providing home care. This article addresses each of those topics
