LONG TERM CARE
Concerns about long term care affect people in a broad range of ages. Generally, the need for long term care arises when you are unable to perform basic activities of daily living. That applies to anyone, at any age, suffering from a major accident, injury or a chronic debilitating illness. Because you may be at greater risk as you get older, exploring long term care insurance is one way to address long term care needs while helping to protect assets.
