Lifescape Elder Care Law & Estate Planning

What Lifescape Elder Care Law & Estate Planning does

Lifescape Elder Care Law & Estate Planning, LLC is a private professional services law firm founded in 2019 by P. Glen Smith and headquartered in the Kansas City metropolitan area, with offices in Kansas City, Missouri (1508 NW Vivion Rd.) and Lenexa, Kansas (8700 Monrovia). The firm delivers a multidisciplinary "Life Care Planning" practice that bundles eight integrated service areas—estate planning, Medicaid and Veterans benefits planning, nursing home and long-term care planning, elder law, special needs planning, mediation, and advance care planning—with non-legal care coordination, advocacy, and wellness coaching delivered by an interdisciplinary team of approximately eleven professionals.

The team is composed of two attorneys (P. Glen Smith, Elijah Waugh), a Director of Operations & Community Outreach (Katie Riordan), a Director of Community Relations (Eva Gavin), a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator serving as Client Relations Manager (Tonia Cantrell), care managers, a Dementia Care Specialist (Rachel Kail), a Benefits Specialist, and credentialed health/wellness and life coaches. This composition is the firm's primary technical "architecture": rather than a software platform, the value delivery mechanism is the coordinated deployment of legal, clinical, and coaching expertise across the lifecycle of an aging or disabled client's care plan.

The revenue model is professional services fees billed through scheduled consultations (in-person, phone, video, and historically drive-thru signings) with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or fee schedules. Go-to-market is sales-led and education-driven: a blog, YouTube/video library, the "Elder Care 911" free webinar, in-person seminars, community affiliations (Northland Professionals in Aging, Alzheimer's Association), and a speaking partnership with Cramer Capital Management generate top-of-funnel demand and referrals within the KC metro. The firm is wholly founder-owned, has no disclosed outside investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.

Direct peers

• A Place for Mom: A senior placement and referral service that connects families with assisted living, memory care, and nursing home options. Highly comparable to Lifescape because both serve the same primary customer (families of aging adults), rely on consultative engagement, and monetize the planning/placement journey rather than the care facility itself.
• Caring.com: A leading online resource and referral platform for senior care, including in-home care, assisted living, and elder-care planning content. Comparable because it competes for the same educational, top-of-funnel traffic and refers families into care and legal services, overlapping directly with Lifescape's blog, webinars, and resource hub.
• AgingCare.com: An online community and resource hub for caregivers of elderly and disabled individuals, offering peer support, expert articles, and care-related referrals. Comparable to Lifescape because both target the caregiver segment and monetize it via planning-oriented content and downstream service connections.

Emerging players

• FreeWill: A technology platform that lets users generate legally valid wills and beneficiary documents at no cost, with paid upgrades and institutional partnerships. Comparable to Lifescape as a disruptor targeting the same estate planning end-customer with a low-cost, digital-first alternative to traditional firm-based service.
• Trust & Will: An online estate planning platform that lets consumers create wills, trusts, and healthcare directives via guided software. Comparable to Lifescape as a direct substitute for entry-level estate planning services, with the threat that price-sensitive customers may self-serve basic plans before engaging a law firm.
• Caring Senior Service: A national in-home senior care franchise with an integrated care management approach, including care plans and ongoing check-ins. Comparable to Lifescape's Life Care Planning model because it similarly bundles non-clinical coordination, advocacy, and ongoing client support for aging clients, although from the care side rather than the legal side.

Broad incumbents

• Senior Helpers: A national in-home senior care franchise offering personal care, Alzheimer's/dementia care, and respite services. Comparable because they share the same aging-in-place customer, often co-market with elder law practices, and represent a complementary (rather than competing) service in the broader Life Care Planning continuum.
• LegalZoom: A large online legal services company offering wills, trusts, LLC formation, and a registered attorney network across all 50 states. Comparable to Lifescape as a scaled, technology-enabled competitor in the basic estate planning category, with potential to expand into more substantive elder law and Medicaid planning.
• Comfort Keepers: A national franchise network providing in-home care services for seniors, including personal care, companionship, and specialized dementia support. Comparable to Lifescape because Comfort Keepers sits in the same Kansas City-style local-relationship elder care ecosystem and frequently partners with elder law firms for Medicaid/estate planning referrals.

Others

• National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA): The premier professional membership organization for U.S. attorneys specializing in elder law, of which Lifescape founder P. Glen Smith is a member. Comparable as the trade body that defines standards, ethics, and professional development for the niche in which Lifescape operates, and a likely channel for partnership and referral sourcing.
