We all plan on
being healthy throughout our lifetime, but sometimes the aging
process can prevent us from doing things that we now take for
granted.
But did you know:
Currently 12%
of the population in Canada is over age 65 and that will increase
to 25% by the year 2036.
Once at age
75 men can expect to live another 9 years and women almost 12
more years.
The age 80 +
segment will double in the next 20 years.
The prevalence
of dementia rises with age.
The incidence
of cancer has increased more than 30% in the last 20 years among
aging Canadians.
There has been
a 50% decrease in the death rate from heart disease in the last
20 years.
Stoke is the
leading cause of transfer from hospital to long term care.
75% of those
disabled with arthritis need help with Activities of Daily Living
(ADL'S).
Long Term Care
insurance should be part of your financial future.
Why do
I need Long Term Care Insurance?
Because
people are living longer and with the advancement of medicine,
people are more likely to survive conditions that in the past
would have led to death.
Who will provide
for your needs:
Government Benefits
- may cover only a portion of the costs.
Your Family
- few people today are in a position to devote the hours per
day it takes to care for a loved one.
The answer is
Long Term Care Insurance.
It enables you to receive the care you need in the comfort of
your own home. It also provides comprehensive coverage for nursing
home care, should that option become a necessity for you.
You can purchase
long Term Care up to age 80. Give yourself the opportunity to
live with dignity and not be a burden to your family or drain
your assets.
Living for today
and caring for tomorrow.
