When you love a person with a developmental disability, planning for the future brings up a difficult question:
Who will care for my loved one when I am no longer able?
Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network (PLAN) – Lethbridge is one branch of Lethbridge Association for Community Living that supports individuals living with physical, mental and intellectual challenges and their families by facilitating social connections and intentionally building authentic relationships.
We are a family directed organization that supports families through the development of a social and supportive network for their family member.
For those who have a child or a relative requiring support the question – “Who will take care of our children when we are gone?” – is real and pressing.
LACL-PLAN helps families to gain insight on how to ensure a good, safe and secure life for their loved ones. A good life for people with disabilities is not very different from a good life for anyone else. We help families to provide a future where their loved ones with disabilities:
- are supported by caring family and friends
- are encouraged to participate in and contribute to their community
- have their wishes and choices respected
- have financial security
- live in a place of their own choosing
- are protected from abuse and exploitation.
