Long Term Care Insurance & Other Options

Why consider long-term care planning?

• do you believe you are going to live a long life?
• do you think if you live a long life that you will ever need care?
• do you know the emotional consequences it would have on your family?
• do you know the physical consequences it would have on your family?
• do you know the financial consequences it would have on your family?
• do you know that it can cost $100,000 per year for care?
• do you know that you would have to pay with your income?
• do you know the effect it would have on your retirement portfolio?
• do you have money allocated in your portfolio to pay for care?
• do you have a plan to pay for an average of 3 years of care?
• do you know that without insurance you are self-insured?
