6-Ton Elephant in the Room

The newly released C.A.R.E.(Costs, Accountabilities, Realities, Expectations) study confirms how badly prepared Americans are for long-term care.

It is scary!

Click here for more info about the study, good graphics, a lifespan calculator and LTC Cost of Care calculator.

36% of Americans are, or have been, caregivers to someone aging, ill, or with special needs (other than a child).

People are divorced from reality. When asked what people with no caregiving experience expect, they overwhelmingly envisioned their role to focus mainly around performing such chores as grocery shopping (78%), cooking (73%) and laundry (72%).

Experienced caregivers, however, tell a different story. While chores are undeniably a big part of the job, emotional support ranked equally high (83%). Financial support and personal hygiene were cited as the aspects of caregiving that cause the most anxiety.

People want the caregiving experience to be more about chores than money, hygiene and emotions. Unfortunately, it is not, unless there is long-term care insurance (LTCi) or so much wealth (as in Glen Campbell’s case) that no one is concerned about spending it on long-term care.

Here is a great looking, easy-to-understand graphic with similar information.

Happy Long-Term Care (LTC) Awareness Month!

November 1, 2015 by Honey Leveen Leave a Comment

LTCi is Good for AmericaNovember is National Long Term Care (LTC) Awareness Month, an opportunity to focus on a topic that is still unfamiliar to most Americans.

The American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, www.aaltci.org, first established the month in 2001 with the single goal of encouraging more people to think about the issue of long term care. The need to plan ahead for long-term care is of vital importance to all Americans.

LTC Awareness Month has been recognized by Congress and a number of Governors. Many mayors, including Houston’s Bill White and Anise Parker, have proclaimed November LTC Awareness Month, and have encouraged citizens to focus on long-term care awareness and planning.
