Do you need assistance with daily duties now?
PLAN TN can help!
PLAN TN (Planned Lifetime Assistance Network of Tennessee, Inc) can help. Although many organizations serve people with disabilities, families often fill in gaps in primary service offerings. Just as families do now, PLAN’s objective is to step in to coordinate care and assist individuals over their lifetimes. PLAN’s aim is to become a surrogate family member for a person with a disability—a surrogate who has detailed information about and a trusting relationship with that person. PLAN’s mission is to create peace of mind by planning and providing lifelong assistance to people with disabilities and their families. From designing and implementing current and future care plans to simply listening to people with disabilities and family members, PLAN creates peace of mind.
PLAN TN is not another agency.
Parents and other family members provide up to 80% or more of the day to day care of the disabled individual. As such, these family members juggle the many appointments and activities in the disabled individual's life. PLAN TN does not provide the case management services nor does any employee or volunteer provide medical services. Just as a family member, PLAN TN oversees the services currrently present in the disabled person's life. We are the umbrella that ensures services are provide, that needed medications are taken on in a timely manner, and that social activities remain a part of the disabled person's life.
We can offer...
- Caregiver Peace of Mind
- Family Surrogacy
- Continuity of Care
- Quality of Life
- Life Long Assistance
- Personal Approach
- Long Term Planning
For People with Disabilities
PLAN TN brings into focus the issues that are important now and that will remain important over the course of a disabled individual's lifetime.
If a person in your family has a disability, do you...
- select, coordinate, and monitor their disability services?
- help them advocate ensuring quality services?
- play a key role in resolving crises they experience?
- supplement their income from SSI or SSDI?
- ensure they have opportunities for recreation and to socialize with others?
- provide them regular companionship and support?
- remember them on birthdays and holidays?
If you have a disability, do you...
- feel overwhelmed by the stress of managing your daily life?
- worry about who will help you if something happens to your primary caregivers or the family members who help you now?
- hate feeling like a burden to your family?
- wish you had help understanding and accessing government benefits, community resources, quality medical care and appropriate housing?
- need someone to advocate for you with healthcare and human services providers?
- worry about having enough money to live on, now and in the future?
- wish you had someone who could lend a listening ear and emotional support when the challenges of living with a disability seem overwhelming?
