Making a difference in other people's lives and empowering members with knowledge about Long Term Care is my passion. At 13, my Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. For the next 7 years I watched my favorite fun loving person become a vegetable before my eyes. Five years later my mother was taken from Cancer. More recently, I lost my beloved Father-In-Law, once again to life depleting Dementia. I have experienced firsthand the financial and emotional toll a long term care health event takes on the family. With so many hard working people being affected by these life altering events, I found myself seeking a way to help change that. It inspired me to become the Long Term Care specialist that I am today.

I love my job! As a specialist with LTCR-Pacific, I strive to offer my clients the most cost efficient and effective policy options with financially strong and top rated insurance companies. My greatest satisfaction is knowing that I empower the members I serve a way to protect their financial assets and give them the ability to afford the care they wish to have. Providing members with a plan for peace of mind, freedom of care choices, and the dignity that comes with that, is a most rewarding experience.

The Problem Hasn’t Changed But the Solutions Have:

 

An overview of our LTC Funding solutions can be found on the chart below. Each option has its benefits and drawbacks, and your medical situation is an important factor in the options available to you. Products do vary by State. Your Advisor can provide you with an analysis of the options in your state and aid you in deciding if one is right for you and your family.

New Taxes?

As many states struggle to meet the soaring demands of their Medicaid long-term care programs, many are considering increasing taxes on their citizens. Washington recently enforced a mandatory payroll tax for its citizens to fund a small LTC benefit plan, and an additional fifteen states are considering taking similar measures. If the Washington example is followed in your State, buying private long-term care plans could provide an exemption from this mandatory state tax and more comprehensive coverage.

Your assigned Advisor will provide you with a Market Update customized to your state to help you better understand the repercussions of mandatory state programs and other relevant information.

Tools to Help You Develop a Strategy

Working with over 500 professional and alumni members, we know we work with a highly educated clientele that wants to learn on their own.  We have added several tools to help you learn more about the costs of long term care and the price of various solutions  

Costs of Care

To help you understand the risk you are trying to cover, there are two tools to help you learn about the current and future costs of care in your state or states you are considering retirementment.  

Costs of Coverage

To get an idea on costs there are several rate calculator tools to give you an estimate on the premiums for each plan type. 

Insurance vs. Self-Funding

Instead of insurance, could you set aside funds to pay for care on your own?   This tool will help you calculate different returns and what you would need match the leverage of insurance.
