The holiday season is a time to join with family to say thanks for life’s blessings. This season can also be an ideal time to make sure those blessings continue year after year, without the unexpected financial burden of long term health care expenses.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, about 70% of us over age 65 will need long-term care at some point. When you consider that sometimes several family members might be at risk, the odds are even greater!
This hard fact doesn’t have to be bad news, though, and there's no better time than the holidays to have the LTC conversation with your loved ones. Everyone will be together in one place in a relaxed, receptive frame of mind, and that's the perfect time to discuss ensuring the best possible future for the entire family.
