Long-Term Care Insurance Pays!

by Leave a Comment

According to page 22 of the 2012-2013 Sourcebook for Long-Term Care Insurance Information (Thousand Oaks, CA: American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance,  2012), the nation’s 10 leading long-term care insurance (LTCi) companies paid over $10.8 million a day in claim benefits in 2010!

Benefits paid by just these insurers totaled nearly $4 billion for the year!

During a typical 30-day timeframe, these insurers paid benefits to 134,430 individuals.

Imagine the improvement in dignity, options and choices LTCi ownership gave these policyholders and their families!

Education creates longer lives and greater need for long-term care

by Leave a Comment

A newly published study in the journal Health Affairs proves that the correlation between education and health and longevity are striking.

 “Education exerts its direct beneficial effects on health through the adoption of healthier lifestyles, better ability to cope with stress, and more effective management of chronic diseases. However, the indirect effects of education through access to more privileged social position, better-paying jobs, and higher income are also profound.”

According to the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, 2012 LTCi Sourcebook, page 3, in 2011, over 65% of all long-term care insurance new claims were for people over the age of 80!

The more affluent you are, the longer you’ll live. The longer you live, the higher the odds are that you’ll eventually need long-term care.

Long-Term Care Awareness Month Re-cap

by Leave a Comment

AALTCI LogoWe had a wonderful 2010 Long-Term Care Awareness Month (LTCAM) here in Houston.

The goal of LTCAM is to make the public more aware of the need for responsible long-term care (LTC) planning. It is nationally sponsored by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance.

I want to thank The Forum at Memorial Woods and my contact at The Forum, Keri Shaw, in particular, for organizing and generously underwriting the 2010 LTCAM luncheon there on November 4, 2010. The luncheon was filled to capacity. I was told that people were turned away. Houston City Council Member Melissa Noriega and her assistant, Toya Ramirez, came from City Hall to present Mayor Parker’s proclamation that November 2010 is LTCAM in Houston. I gave a talk at the luncheon called “LTC Current Events.”

On November 16, 2010, a group of 10 of us, representing Houston LTCAM sponsors The Forum at Memorial Woods, Senior Resource Guide, The Houston Area Continuity of Care, and the Houston Association of Health Underwriters, went before Houston City Council to publicly accept the 2010 LTCAM proclamation from Mayor Annise Parker.

It’s been an exciting month!
