description

More than 70% of Americans older than 40 aren’t confident that they will be able to finance or make the right decision for long term care and senior living, but there are creative strategies to help older adults finance their new home immediately with your community. For example, more than 17 million veterans are eligible for a pension that helps them pay for care, but fewer than 5% receive it. Many older adults have a life insurance policy that that can be converted to a long term care policy. There are also realtor networks specializing in senior housing and the potential of house deferments – a resource basically untapped in the United States but widely used overseas.

Long Term Care

8.1  Million  Americans  are  protected  with  long-­‐term  care  insurance.    

 Not  all  policies  are  the  same.    Some  are  more  complex  than  others  and  restrict  certain  types  of  care  

AcUvaUng  long  term  care  policies  has  become  very  difficult  to  say  the  least  

 Many  Umes  it  is  a  fight  on  the  difference  between  Nursing  care  and  Assisted  

It  pays  to  have  a  professional  company  that  knows  how  to  navigate  the  Long  Term  Care  Industry  to  acUve  the  policy  and  manage  its  ongoing  monthly  payments
