Financially, it’s a lifesaver. Long-term care (LTC) insurance provides benefits that help millions of Americans manage the potentially significant costs of skilled care at home, in an assisted living facility, or at a nursing home. Before they invest in LTC, most consumers need sound advice. Long-Term Care, Part I (Needs and Options) will arm you with the information you need to help your members and clients make better decisions.
