Kiplinger’s Sponsors Free Long Term Care Advice

by Patrick on November 7, 2008

Earlier this year, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine sponsored Kiplinger’s Jump-Start Your Retirement Plan Days, in which professional financial advisors gave free advice to anyone who called and requested it. The financial experts covered topics such as subjects of investments, taxes, insurance, estate planning, and saving for college and retirement.

Now Kiplinger’s is sponsoring a similar event for long term care insurance.

Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI) are partnering for the first time to offer two Long-Term Care Phone-In Days. On Thursday, November 13th and Friday, November 21st from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time, AALTCI members will be standing by, ready to field your inquiries about long-term care insurance and long-term care planning. You don’t pay a cent—not even for the call. Just dial toll-free 877-KIPTIP1 (877-547-8471).

Long term care is a good idea for many people

My grandmother has been living in an assisted care facility for several years now. She suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and it is doubtful she will ever be able to take care of herself again. It is a difficult experience not to be able to take care of your parent or loved one, or witness them not be able to take care of themselves.

Long term disability care is something everyone should think about at a certain point in their life. But since everyone’s situation is different, I recommend speaking with a professional who can help you better understand your needs. This is a great chance to get some free information and get you started in the right direction.

Patrick-

That’s hard on any family. I’ve been blessed so far to not have had a family member go through this experience. But I have seen clients and friends who have. It truly does drain on the family emotionally and financially. Best regards to your family.
