  13. Testimonials “I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of all the Claim people and the swiftness of the claim payment process. Within 5 days of when I send in my bill, I get my payment. I wish all insurance companies were like that!” Pat “Lisa has been very responsive to my questions and concerns. She has provided a caring attitude and shows real concern for my mother’s condition.” Alexis “You don’t need long term care until your life is already pretty stressful. This insurance has provided us with a nurse who is professional, caring and answers the questions we didn’t even know to ask. Thanks to Catherine for all her help.” - Janice “Carolee took great care and concern with my mother's long term care case assignment… it took a lot of patience on her part but she never let any annoyance show.” - Shoshana “Nancy is awesome! She is so patient, understanding and informative she has made a difficult time much easier for my family.” - Kari

Realities of Long Term Care in 2012 • Aging demographic; millions of retirees unprepared • Increased longevity • High costs of care • Low personal savings rate, loss of home equity • Inflation risk • Deficit, entitlement cutbacks Retirement The need for a reliable means of financing long-term care services is greater than ever
