Someday you may not be as independent as you are today. You may require assis- tance with the basic activities you do easily everyday - activities like eating, dressing and bathing. Who would you turn to for help? Your family? Chances are they will have jobs, children or other responsibilities to take care of as well. It may be an awful lot to ask of them. The Government? You may have to give up most of your savings and other assets to qualify for government assistance through Medicaid. Maybe your medical plan or Medicare? These plans are valuable when you need care for short-term illness or disability from which you will recover. They rarely pay for the care that is needed for an extended period of time due to a chronic illness or disability. And they may only cover assistance with eating, dressing, bathing and the other activi- ties of daily living, if you are receiving daily skilled care from a RN, Physical Therapist or other licensed Health Care Professional.1 You may have to pay someone to provide your care. In New York, Nursing Home Care can cost up to $125,925.00 per year; while Home Care can cost up to $65,933.00 per year.2 Can you afford this? People need to plan for Long-Term Care, and I work primarily in the area of helping seniors plan for their needs. I am the founder of Client Advisory Solutions, an office of MetLife Financial Services, and my office focuses on Asset Protection Strategies. Twicethefun One such strategy that helps protect your assets and independence is long-term care insurance. Client Advisory Solutions runs monthly classroom style educational seminars which Waterloo Bridge Theatre Co. address senior concerns.
