A Guide to Legal Issues in Life-Limiting Conditions 

Life-Limiting Conditions provides an overview of the key legal and practical issues that arise in the care of individuals who face a life-limiting condition or who must care for a loved one with a life-limiting condition. As an aid to the planning process, Life-Limiting is organized around the continuum of care beginning with healthy individuals who are able to live at home, to independent retirement communities, assisted living, long term care, and an eventual return to the home with the aid of hospice services.



Life-Limiting has also been summarized into six, easy to read one-page documents that provides a brief general overview of the issues covered in each chapter of the more comprehensive guidebook.

1. We All Need to Plan for the Future
2. Choosing an Independent Living Arrangement
3. Long Term Care Options
4. Choosing a Long Term Care Facility
5. Settling Into a Long Term Care Facility
6. Care and Comfort at the End of Life
