Lifecare Innovations offers Lifecare Management, Guardianship, Life Care Planning, Caregiver and Property services to those coping with age-related issues, psychiatric impairments, brain injury and developmental disabilities.  The current staff of 25 clinicians is field based and serves clients in a variety of locations and settings, including nursing homes, assisted living facilities and private residences in the community.

Life Care Planning for individuals who have suffered traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries is one of the key areas spurring the company’s growth, and a field of expertise much relied upon by insurance companies, law firms and other entities involved in litigating settlements related to these devastating injuries.

Lifecare Innovations, widely known as the preferred company for difficult, complex cases, is also dedicated to education and licensed to offer Continuing Education Units to nurses, social workers and nursing home administrators throughout the Chicago area.

Shay Jacobson, RN MA NMG LNCC, remains at the helm today.  The company was awarded the prestigious Better Business Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics in 2008 and more recently, an Annual Award for Business Excellence from the Daily Herald Business Ledger. 

Ms. Jacobson was also individually awarded the National Master Guardian Star Achievement Award in 2013. One of the highest honors bestowed by the Center for Guardianship Certification (CGC), the award recognizes the person’s exemplary work as a CGC National Master Guardian and demonstrated knowledge of advanced guardianship concepts, ethics and issues.
