“Veterans deserve special attention, so we take our role as advocates seriously. We work to enusure that veterans and their families enhance their quality of life. The practice areas at Senior Life Care Planning, LLC include VA applications, and other areas of paramount importance to veterans.

Everyone understands sales people, including those in finance and insurance, make money when people buy their products or services. But residents of senior living communities – such as the 94-year-old mother – can be especially vulnerable targets.
