Your Long-Term Care Choices :
------
First:  What is Extended or Long-Term Care (LTC)?    Extended or Long-Term Care is assistance for a period of time longer than 90 days where you need personal care and health services because you have become frail or have a cognitive impairment.    When these times occur, you need a caregiver.  Most care allows you to stay at home and helps you remain active in the community and with your family as long as possible when planned correctly.   Sometimes, a family member can help.   However, it is best when the spouse, child, friend, or family member supervises rather than provides the care.      Outside caregivers help keep everyone healthy.  This care can be in or outside your home.
-----

What We Have Found Out. The need for extended care can happen any time in your life with a serious illness or accident.   Although the odds are lower in your working years, are you prepared if in the unlikely event that it did?        Have you funded a plan if you or those who you have sworn to provide and protect need outside care?  Are you prepared to pay for a second (2nd) household if necessary to assure the comfort and well being of a loved one?

Since most of us don't have a crystal ball or know when we may need extended care, being prepared to minimize the financial impact is a good strategic move.   We would like to share with you your choices and alternatives to position yourself for these unexpected events in your life.

d.         Have you considered the price tag for doing the right thing and the positive consequences when you are found to be prepared regardless of the circumstances?

-----
Why Now? Why now?  First, your health could change and you would not longer qualify for extended care (long-term care) insurance or other choices.  Second, long-term care (LTC) costs are increasing.  So, if you could quantify or perhaps even limit your overall costs now and manage your risks, what would that mean to you?   We have had clients discuss their extended care choices with us.  They walk away with peace of mind and the knowledge that    .

How to understand more.

ü      Call us to schedule a time to visit and to explore your personal situation.
-----
ü      When you are available, join us for our fun, educational events that we have often.
-----
ü      Consider where would you begin withdrawing the money today if needed for funds for extended care immediately.   It is those funds that we would like to help you strategically position.   
-----
Please call us to discuss how planning for extended or long-term living can be accomplished cost effectively.  
 
In 35 years, Long-Term Care Could Cost $1 Million Dollars for 3 Years Care
 In Houston, nursing home costs average $5,000.00 a month or $60,000 a year.  If you need three (3) years of care, you will spend $180,000.  At-home care costs can be more costly.  Statistically, there is a 43% chance that you will need this type of care.  Call now to schedule a time for us to talk.
 

Thank you for the opportunity to provide useful information to you.
