Long-term care insurance is about so much more than just wealth presentation.

Here’s a comprehensive, excellent resource for anyone suffering from dementia.

This is a valuable presentation titled “Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old?”– is it’s so affirming when a non-LTC insurance salesperson gives the same advice I do.

I am referred to as a “long-term care insurance veteran expert” in this October, 2020 article. Here’s my quoted comment: “Long-term care planning is about wealth preservation, undeniably. For me and my clients, it is equally or more about dignity, choices, grace, consideration, and quicker access to higher quality care, with much less pause or hesitation. This perspective is often overlooked by the public and by many professionals who serve them.”
