Planning for Long Term Care

Sixty percent of older Americans will need help with health and personal needs as they grow older. Planning for how you can afford these services is an important part of your financial planning.

The United States Department of Health & Human Services has developed a guidebook with useful information including a worksheet for evaluation of your long-term care insurance options. In addition, the kit includes an audio CD that presents stories of people with long-term care experiences.

This kit is offered at no charge and can be obtained by calling toll free to 1 (866) 752-6582. TTY users should call 1 (877) 486-2048.

With the right plan and information, you can build a firm foundation for the years that lie ahead. This kit can help you get started.
