|     NOVEMBER IS LONG-TERM CARE AWARENESS MONTH Planning for LTC expenses is vital in a comprehensive retirement strategy   During Long-Term Care Awareness Month — and all year long — it's important to remember there’s a 70% chance that a person who’s 65 today will rely on LTC services in their lifetime1. And LTC can be costly.   Your clients’ retirement strategies may fall short if they don’t include solutions to manage LTC expenses. Bridge by EquiTrust is one way you can help them fill gaps in coverage. It provides LTC benefits when clients need them, and retirement savings when they don’t. Bridge® combines a fixed index annuity with long-term care coverage, plus the NeverStopSM Wellness Program. Visit the Bridge microsite for everything you need to market and sell Bridge. As the U.S. continues to lose nursing homes, with 600 fewer now than six years ago2, a flexible solution that provides options can help. Bridge offers indemnity-based benefits with direct payments and easy claims — no receipts or invoices are required. And everyone’s covered3 for LTC benefits.   See our article in Aspire magazine Get supporting statistics and learn more about positioning LTC within a comprehensive retirement strategy.
