Happy Long-Term Care (LTC) Awareness Month!

November 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.
