A little about us:

Handing over decision-making authority for the life you’ve worked hard to build may be difficult to fathom. It’s a decision that is not made lightly. Being trusted with such a responsibility is something we take very seriously.

Our team is made up of two attorneys, two registered nurses, and a nurse practitioner with a combined total of 70 years experience. After decades of witnessing unnecessary disappointment, heartache, and worry, we joined together to fill the gap we saw and make sure all people, regardless of their family dynamic, receive the lifelong advocacy they deserve.

My wife and I feel very good about our son’s future being in very capable hands. Having made the decision to go with Scout a few years ago is the best decision we have made to secure a safe, stable and secure life for our son when we are no longer able. It is really hard to put into words how good we are feeling about everything, and how much progress has been made. Thank You.

You might still be wondering…

How much do your services cost?

You can view our current fee schedule here. We bill by the hour and the cost of our service greatly depends on your level of need. Your needs fluctuate day-to-day and depend on many factors including the amount of family support, your medical needs, whether or not you are in a crisis, and whether we are handling your finances and health care or just one or the other. During the intake process we discuss the cost of services, your financial picture, and whether or not we are a good fit.

What if I have a family member that wants to be involved in my care?
We encourage family members to be involved. We love to work with family members to ensure the highest quality of life for our clients.
What if I’m unhappy with your services?

We want you to raise any concerns you have directly with us. We are confident we can work together to find a solution. You can choose to terminate our services if we are serving as your power of attorney and/or health care representative.

How can I (or my family) be certain my finances are handled properly?
We have multiple internal checks and balances in place to ensure your assets are safe. We also provide regular, detailed reports so you can be sure that every cent is being tracked.
My circumstances aren’t urgent; when is the right time to line up services?

The earlier the better! You can call us at any time to see if we are a good fit for your future needs. It is best to plan for your future before you are in a crisis.

Do you prepare wills, power of attorney, and health care representative documents?
No. We are not a law firm and cannot prepare these documents for you. We do have an extensive network of trusted attorneys and we are happy to introduce you to one of them.
What is your service area?
Our offices are located in Indianapolis and Fishers. Our service area depends on level of need. For example, if we are only managing an individual’s finances, that individual can be located anywhere in Indiana. If we are managing an individual’s health care, then we want to ensure we are close enough to be present when an urgent need arises. Generally, we serve individuals who live within two hours of Indianapolis.
What do you do for a typical client?

Our role in a case depends on the level of need. If an individual is healthy and stable, we might not have to step in right away. Once their needs increase, we can be present to help. For example, if a client experiences a health crisis and then needs ongoing advocacy, then we are present during and after the crisis.

Other individuals need assistance with all aspects of their health care and finances. In those situations we can do the following:

 

  • Assess level and type of care and care plan needed
  • Create quality care plan and make sure it is functioning
  • Support and guide with issues around long-term care
  • Advocate for care and quality in the health care system
  • Coordinate key support entities – doctors, therapists, home care
  • Arrange for needed services such as legal and financial preparedness
  • Placement support into assisted living or skilled care
  • Monitor care in a facility
  • Medication management support
  • Transport to and attend medical appointments
  • Provide personal support and encouragement
  • Anticipate and prepare for future needs
  • Pay day-to-day bills
  • Manage assets including real estate, business assets, vehicles, etc.
  • Sell property when needed
  • Work with investment advisors, financial planners, and attorneys to create long-term financial plan
  • Receive and manage income sources

Don’t let the future “happen” to you.

If a difficult turn of events catches you without a plan, you’ll have to rely on default policies that may not take your wishes into consideration. 

But you have more control of your future than you may realize! We’ll help you put a plan in place today so that, no matter what happens, you’ll have advocates ready to prioritize your well-being and ensure your affairs are handled precisely the way you prefer.
