WHY YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE

 

If you are like the majority of women that I speak to about long term care insurance (LTCi), you are perplexed. Confused by the terminology, not quite convinced on the need, and the price can be daunting. Many times the decision to buy a LTCi policy comes when one is diagnosed with an uninsurable illness or when a parent needs care and the reality sets in. As one who has experienced the ravages of Alzheimer's Disease with a family member, not having the insurance would have been disastrous. If one is uninsurable, there are other options, but the most cost-effective method are these plans. For straight answers on a bewildering product, contact me at deb@kokopellifinancial.com
