Long-Term Care

Question 1:  What if something were to happen and you needed extended health care?  What's your plan? Chances are, if you can't identify a plan, neither will your children should you need special care in the future.

Question 2:  What happens if you become frail?  You may need constant care and that may put a significant burden on the caregiver.   Long-term Care insurance gives you the option to hire a caregiver that helps your family cope with the significant challenges of giving constant care.  This allows for needed relief and helps families balance their lives.

Question 3:  Are you planning to self-insure or hope that Medicare will cover Long-Term Care expenses?  You may be surprised that Medicare was not intended to cover the expense of an extended period. Avoid having to hand over your home or other assets to get the medical care you may need.
