LifeCare^® College Kit Helps Ease Transition For Students, Gives Parents Peace of Mind

New kit available to eligible client employees

WESTPORT, Conn., May 1, 2006 – LifeCare^®, Inc., a pioneer in creating comprehensive life planning services, has announced a new addition to its line of popular educational kits: the LifeCare College Kit, which is filled with practical products and a wealth of information to help students make a smooth transition into college life. The kit contains a first aid kit, a messenger bag, a healthy eating reference tool, a 30-minute pre-paid phone card, a LifeCare Budgeting Guide: How to Make a Budget and Stick To It, a Personal Finance Guide: Choosing & Using Credit Cards, a Safety Guide: Protecting Yourself From Sexual Assault, and much more.

“Our new College Kit helps college students stay safe, make healthy lifestyle choices and manage their budgets more effectively,” said LifeCare CEO, Peter G. Burki. “The kit makes a great going away gift or it can be sent as a 'care package' during the school year. Either way, it'll help give parents some peace of mind as their children begin to take responsibility for their own lives.”

LifeCare provides its educational kits to client organizations nationwide. Other kits in the series include a Prenatal Kit, a Child Safety Kit and an Adult Care Kit. The Prenatal Kit helps parents proactively manage issues such as birthing options, breastfeeding, formula feeding, child development, and more; the kit won Human Resource Executive magazine's “Product of the Year” award several years ago. The Child Safety Kit helps parents protect children under age three from the most common and often preventable childhood injuries; its contents address choosing age-appropriate toys, fire safety, baby products and equipment and more. And the Adult Care Kit contains helpful educational resources and products that benefit adult caregivers and care recipient alike, including basic caregiving guidelines, information on care options, a LifeCare Digest on Emergency Preparedness, information about health insurance for people with Medicare and more.

In addition to offering its College Kit, LifeCare also helps students and their parents prepare for college with personalized referrals, timely articles and informational tools, and scholarship and educational loan assistance.
