Members of a local South Carolina council have "been there and done that" many times, not only with their own loved ones but on countless occasions with members of the community. They assist individuals in the community who can't seem to find what they are looking for even after numerous phone calls and exhaustive internet searches. Through their experience, local councils have developed a well-deserved motto; which is "Difficult Problems – Clear Solutions."
The members of a council represent a wealth of information, knowledge and advice to help you with eldercare issues or generally with any issues aging seniors face. Perhaps you are looking for sources of funds to help you pay for unforeseen expenses, or for help with veterans benefits, or understanding services provided by Medicare and Medicaid. Maybe you need someone to assist you in the home or provide maintenance or yard care or maybe you need advice on finding a long term care community for you or a loved one. Maybe you need legal work, or financial planning or home care services or tax advice or advice on dealing with other members of the family in a caregiving situation. They can provide all of that and much more.
Our council is dedicated to helping families in South Carolina deal with the issues and challenges aging seniors face. We do this by offering a trusted listing source of eldercare and senior services in your area.
Some of these senior services include Care Management, Elder Law, Estate Planning, Funeral Planning, Home Care, Medicaid Planning, Placement, Reverse Mortgage, and help with Veterans Benefits.
The South Carolina Care Planning Council offers books written by the National Care Planning Council, a leader in providing materials on timely subjects relating to aging seniors.
Below are five of their popular books:
"How to Apply for Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits for Senior Veterans and Their Survivors" (2024)
"How to Deal with 21 Critical Issues Facing Aging Seniors"
"The 4 Steps of Long Term Care Planning"
"Protect Assets from Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets" (2024)
The elderly and their caregivers search online everyday for senior services and frequently find our web site, caresouthcarolina.org. We, along with the National Care Planning Council, have become an important resource for families looking for help.
We invite you to become a member of the ScCPC starting at only $15.00 a month. Your membership will include an advertising listing(s) on two sites, your own personal sales (web) page, and access to the member section.
