Long-Term Care 

Considering Long-Term Care insurance is overwhelming.

 

When is the best time to get it? How much will it cost?

How much should I purchase? Will I ever even need it?

​

Answering these types of questions accurately is crucial to decide if LTCi is right for you. Individuals between the ages of 45 and 65 should consider taking out an insurance policy, should they one day require long-term care. The costs associated with these kinds of services are astronomical and without a proper plan in place, can cause a great deal of financial devastation.

 

Family members often offer to help in order to avoid the high costs of licensed professionals. While very generous, this type of arrangement can bring about many problems. When you rely on loved ones for your care, it causes a disruption in their lives and forever changes the relationship between you. It also may mean sacrificing a professional level of care when you are most in need and can lead to arguments among family members, over  the time and money spent providing care.

​

Our brokers are also Partnership certified, which is absolutely necessary to conduct any proper review of the marketplace.
