November is National Long-Term Care Awareness Month and it is a great time to bring potential limited and extended care planning needs top-of-mind with your clients. It is important for every comprehensive financial plan to include LTC considerations. So even if LTC insurance is not your primary line of business, Long-Term Care Awareness Month gives you a good opportunity to get clients up to speed.

Fortunately, NAIFA's Limited & Extended Care Planning Center (LECP) offers expert connections and resources on a variety of LTC planning options you can discuss with your clients. LECP kicked off the month early with a special Halloween event, "Don't Be Scared of Long-Term Care." The recorded presentations and presentation slide decks from the event are now available on demand.
