Follow on Google News | Long Term Care Insurance Association Supports LTC Awareness MonthThe American Association for Long Term Care Insurance announced free marketing tools to support Long Term Care Awareness Month.
"Long term care is needed by over 20 million Americans who need help with their health and personal care," declares Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance http://www.aaltci.org/ Long term care services include personal care services like bathing, doing household chores that enable a person to remain independent. "While most people associate the term long-term care with nursing home care, the vast majority of care is provided in people's homes," Slome explains. "Medicare and other health insurance do not cover most long-term care services and the costs can be quite high," Slome notes. "There is a good chance you will have to turn family members into unpaid caregivers or pay for services from your income or savings and, as a result, people need to do some planning." To help create awareness during Long Term Care Awareness Month, the Association makes available marketing and sales material to insurance and financial professionals. The material can be accessed on the organization's website with additional material available exclusively for members. "Long Term Care Awareness Month is the perfect time for people to take just a few minutes to acquaint themselves with the topic," Slome urges. "We like to say that Long-Term Care is a universal issue facing all Americans who are living long lives and that a failure to plan is nothing more than a plan for failure." According to the trade group some eight million Americans have long-term care insurance policies. "Insurance is not the universal solution and one has to health qualify in order to obtain this valuable protection," Established in 1998 as a non-profit trade group, the American Association for Long Term Care Insurance advocates for the importance of planning for long term care and supports insurance and financial professionals who market LTC insurance.
