November is Long Term Care Awareness Month
As we move into the holiday season and see the New Year on the horizon, there couldn’t be a better time to start or continue the conversation with your family, friends and loved ones about their personal goals, health and preparation for the future.
Did you know that 70% of men and women over the age of 65 will need some kind of long-term care services?
Facing the truth about the future need for help with long term care can be difficult for a lot of people, which is why Long Term Care Awareness Month was created to shed light on the need for a long term care plan.
Use Long Term Care Awareness Month to help educate yourself on the importance of planning for long term care needs. Reach out to the Minnesota Benefit Association to better understand your LTC needs and what options are available to you.
