Long Term Care Planning

 

As surprising as it may sound, one in three children born in 2000 could develop diabetes during their lifetime1. If you are one of the 24 million diabetics, or are one of the 57 million pre-diabetics2, then your chance of needing some kind of Long Term Care in the future is high, due to diabetes related complications.  The physical, emotional and financial impact on these individuals and their families is devastating.  One year in a nursing home can average more than $50,0003.

 

Most diabetics enter a nursing home due to diabetes related complications, such as amputations, blindness, kidney failure, heart conditions, etc., rather than the disease itself. 4  These complications often require professional medical attention, and assistance, that is no longer viable at home, by family, caregivers, or friends, and is beyond their capacity to self-manage.

 

The most important time to look into Long Term Care Insurance is NOW, the cost of coverage will never be as inexpensive as it is today, and waiting even one more day could compromise your ability to get the coverage you need.  It is better to be 20 years early than 1 day late.  Take a moment now to request your FREE report on Long Term Care…
