Life Insurance and Long Term Care Planning
Life Insurance
Life insurance was once viewed simply as a means of risk management to protect against financial loss in the event of a person’s death. Today, it’s an important part of an overall strategic financial plan. Too often, life insurance is left out of the financial planning picture. Many households have no insurance at all, or, if they do, it may not be enough to adequately address their financial objectives.
Long Term Care Insurance
Long-term care (LTC) goes beyond medical care to include all the assistance you could need if you ever have a chronic illness or disability that leaves you unable to care for yourself for an extended period of time (longer than 90 days).
While older people generally require the most long-term care services, a young or middle-aged person who has suffered a debilitating illness or accident may also require care.
You may require long-term care due to:
- Dementia/Alzheimer’s
- Stroke
- Complications with diabetes
- Other chronic conditions
Needing long-term care puts an enormous emotional and physical strain on your loved ones and family members. By planning ahead, you can help reduce this burden. It’s important to start planning now while you have the most options. Schedule an appointment today with a wealth advisor from First National Wealth Management to start the conversation.
