By Rick Law, Elder Care Attorney in Chicagoland.
As baby boomers, we saw our grandparents die of heart attacks, strokes, industrial accidents, agricultural accidents, and other “quick death” causes. When we were young, our peers died of unexpected illnesses and accidents.
Now we’re grandparents!
As we look back over our post-WWII life spans, medical advances have rescued us from many of the diseases and scourges of past ages. But now comes our time to go from healthy, vigorous seniors to seniors with memory and/or mobility issues.
In a recent AARP Magazine article, it was reported that 70 percent of us will need long-term care.
Ignore that statistic at your peril and the peril of your spouse.
When we started doing elder law and retirement and estate protection in 2000, our clients were our parents’ generation. Now, our clients with Parkinson’s Disease, early-onset Alzheimer’s and other serious illnesses – include the Boomers.
To avoid the pothole of being unprepared for a long-term illness, please take action to include some type of investment with long-term care coverage.
Too many families needlessly lose everything they have. Don’t let that be you. If you need help paying the overwhelming cost of long term care, give our office a call at 800-310-3100. Your first consultation is absolutely free. We’ll let you know what steps you need to take, right now, to protect yourself and your family. Call now, because when you’re out of money, you’re out of options!
