Planning is Always the Best Option!
Many often put off the decision of how they will afford long-term care Too often, people wait until they critically need care. By then,
they may not qualify for insurance Remember: the healthier you are, the longer you are likely to live.
The longer you live, the more likely it is that you will need long-term care
Evaluate your situation Discuss the emotional and financial issues with your
family Explore all the options
