Life Care Planning Attorney in Middle Tennessee

As we age, legal, healthcare, and financial decisions become increasingly connected. Our Elder Law & Life Care Planning services help families navigate these challenges with a coordinated plan that protects assets, secures quality care, and provides peace of mind.

How Will Your Family Handle Care When It's Needed?

It often starts with a diagnosis. Maybe it is Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or a sudden medical event.


Now your family is left asking difficult questions.


  • How is mom or dad getting the care they need?
  • Where will that care happen?
  • How are we going to pay for it?

Most families are not prepared for how quickly things can change. The healthcare system is confusing. Costs are high. Options are not always clear.


Without guidance, families spend hours researching providers, navigating TennCare, and trying to piece together a plan during an already stressful time.

This is where Elder Law can help.

At Johnson McGinnis, we practice Elder Law through a Life Care Planning model that brings together legal guidance, care coordination, advocacy, and long-term care planning to help families move forward with confidence.

What Is Life Care Planning?

Life Care Planning is our multidisciplinary approach to Elder Law.

Traditional elder law often focuses on legal documents and asset protection strategies. While those tools are important, families facing aging-related challenges frequently need much more.

Our Life Care Planning approach combines legal planning with practical support to help families navigate the realities of aging and long-term care.

This includes:

Care Coordination

We help you find quality care providers, whether at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility, and make sure services are working together.

Medicaid, TennCare, and Veterans Benefits Planning

We guide you through the rules and guidelines of different government benefits to help cover the cost of care while protecting your assets.

Crisis and Pre-Crisis Planning

Whether you are planning ahead or facing an urgent situation, we create a strategy that fits your timeline and needs.

Legal Planning That Supports Your Care Goals

Your estate plan, powers of attorney, and other legal documents are designed to support your care plan and protect your wishes.

When Families Try to Navigate Aging Alone

We often meet families in the middle of a crisis.

A parent has been hospitalized. Doctors say they cannot return home. Decisions need to be made quickly.

The family is overwhelmed. They are trying to understand care options, deal with insurance, coordinate services, and figure out how to pay for everything all at once.

Many people think Elder Law is simply about legal documents.

In reality, families often need guidance that goes far beyond paperwork.

They need someone who understands the legal, financial, healthcare, and practical challenges that come with aging.

That is exactly what our Life Care Planning approach provides.

You do not have to carry that burden alone. With the right guidance, you can make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure your loved one gets the care they deserve.

A Different Approach to Elder Law

At Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law & Estate Planning, we believe Elder Law should do more than prepare documents.

Our Life Care Planning model helps families find care, coordinate services, protect assets, access benefits, and create a roadmap for the future.

You deserve more than a legal plan. You deserve a team that helps you navigate the entire journey.
