Longer Life Spans Means Planning For Long Term Care

We’re so lucky to be living in a time period where the average American life expectancy is about 75 years for men and 84 for women. In fact, did you know that if you were living in Ancient Greece, you’d be lucky to hit 20 years old?

Americans are living longer and healthier, thanks to better diet, better medical care and safer environments. By 2030, those in need of a Long Term Care Facility (a Nursing Home or Assisted Living Center) will be an estimated 23 million Americans. Unfortunately Long Term Care is not cheap… and Medicare will only pay for a short time under specific, limited circumstances.

Estimates state that everyone has a 70% chance of needing Long Term Care in their lifetime. Why not start planning now? To learn more about obtaining Long Term Care Insurance, please call us today at 330-334-1561 or 800-334-1561.
