At Burzynski Elder Law, we understand that navigating the complexities of long-term care for an aging loved one can feel overwhelming. That’s why our Life Care Planning services include personalized care coordination—a vital part of ensuring that you or your loved one receives the right care, at the right time, and from the right providers.
Our experienced Care Coordinator, Sue Hendricks, serves as a compassionate guide and advocate throughout your family’s journey, helping to remove confusion, reduce stress, and empower you to make informed decisions about care and quality of life. With decades of combined experience in elder law and geriatric care, we are proud to provide a service that goes far beyond legal documents—it’s about quality of life, dignity, and peace of mind.
Care coordination is the process of organizing and managing a senior’s medical, personal, and support services to ensure continuity and efficiency. It involves bridging the gap between health care, long-term care, and family caregiving in a way that honors the elder’s values and needs.
At Burzynski Elder Law, care coordination is not an outsourced service—it’s an integral part of our holistic, elder-centered approach to law. Through this service, we ensure your loved one is not just legally protected, but also medically supported and emotionally cared for.

Whether it’s arranging in-home care, evaluating a facility, or simply lending a supportive ear, Sue is here for you.
Care coordination is an ongoing service where our team helps you organize medical, legal, and long-term care needs into a single, practical plan. We connect families with appropriate providers, help communicate with facilities, and make sure benefits and legal planning align with the care plan.
We attend or prepare you for key appointments, review care plans, track changes in condition, and step in during transitions like hospital discharge or rehab admission. We also help make sure services are actually delivered as promised.
No. Facility case managers work for the provider; our care coordination is independent and focused solely on your goals. We advocate for the least restrictive, most appropriate level of care and help you understand options before you commit.
Yes. We help compare discharge options, confirm services, coordinate home health or facility placement, and align legal/financial steps (like powers of attorney and benefits applications) so the transition is safe and covered when possible.
Some services involved in the plan (like home health) may be covered, but our comprehensive coordination is typically a private-pay professional service. We always explain scope and fees up front.
We review the plan whenever health, living situation, or goals change—often monthly or at key milestones. Families can contact us anytime if something urgent comes up.
No. Many families begin with care coordination and later add legal services as needed. If you’re already a client, we integrate care coordination with your estate, Medicaid, or veterans benefits planning.
Yes. We support seniors and families throughout Naples and Southwest Florida, including Collier and nearby counties. Virtual check-ins are available when appropriate.
At Burzynski Elder Law, we don’t just prepare legal documents—we build plans that help real people in real-life situations. Our incapacity planning, Medicaid strategies, and Life Care Planning services work hand-in-hand with care coordination to give your family a clear path forward.
When you work with our team, you’re not just getting an attorney. You’re getting an entire care advocate team—including our dedicated Care Coordinator—committed to helping you protect your loved one’s health, independence, and dignity.
Every elder deserves to age with dignity and every family deserves guidance they can trust. If you’re facing the challenges of long-term care, don’t wait until a crisis happens.
