Sarah was always well put together when she would arrive at the church functions, but this week she looked “thrown together” and worn out. When asked, she said the burden of caring for her ailing husband was taking its toll. She wasn't complaining, she loved him, but she was tired. Then someone from the parish asked her if she had called about her Long Term Care Insurance policy. She had completely forgotten so she went home and called. By the next day, Sarah had a care coordinator helping her assess she and her husbands needs and within days, a care plan, and care providers were in place. Sarah was back to her cheerful “well put together” self within weeks thanks to her ability to keep her husband at home with her and pay for the round the clock care providers her husband required.

Do you know how you would provide round the clock care for your spouse if they needed it?  It might be time to put a plan in place.
