From Overwhelmed to Supported: Anastasia and Levi’s Story
At 83 years old, Levi was living a full and independent life with the loving support of his daughter, Anastasia. He remained at home, managing most daily activities on his own, both inside and outside the house.
Unfortunately, Levi became seriously unwell and was diagnosed with a terminal illness. His care needs increased significantly in a short period of time, and Anastasia felt unprepared and emotionally exhausted. Both were trying to process the diagnosis while facing the emotional weight of upcoming decisions.
As the situation intensified, decision-making became overwhelming and all-consuming. That’s when Anastasia reached out to Planwise for guidance and support.
How Planwise Helped
A dedicated Planwise Care Navigator quickly identified the services and care packages that Levi was eligible for based on his diagnosis. Anastasia received step-by-step direction on how to apply for a care assessment, along with contact details for reputable care providers who could assist privately until the package was approved.
To simplify the process, the Navigator also provided a clear list of questions to help Anastasia evaluate each care provider and make informed choices.
Essential equipment, including a recliner chair and bathroom aids, was delivered promptly to ensure Levi’s safety and comfort at home.
Regular check-in calls were scheduled with Anastasia to provide reassurance and help manage the care plan effectively.
A referral to palliative care services was made to ensure both emotional and medical support for Levi and his family.
Outcomes
Levi was able to remain at home with dignity and comfort, receiving the right level of care and support for his health needs.
When the situation felt overwhelming, Anastasia was guided through each decision with clarity, compassion, and practical options, allowing her to focus on what truly mattered: her father’s wellbeing and peace.
