Most advisors and consumers plan for LTC in a three step process.  The first step is to acknowledge that there is a chance an extended health care event could happen to them.  The next step is to estimate a dollar amount that needs to be set aside to pay for such care. 

The third step is to determine *how* to fund the care plan.  With more and more options, planning can get complicated quickly.  Mind maps can help frame and negotiate the conversation.  **Click on the image below** to check out an interactive LTC funding mind map that can guide a planning conversation.
