Free Long Term Care Insurance Guide Available from Association

Los Angeles, CA, July 26, 2013 --(PR.com)-- An easy-to-read consumer guide provides valuable information and tips on long-term care planning and long term care insurance specifically targeted for adults between ages 40 and 60.

"Our goal is to provide relevant information in as simple as manner as possible so people can make informed decisions about their future," explains Jesse Slome, executive director of the long term care insurance industry trade group which produced the series of consumer educational guides. "Valuable Lessons on Long-Term Care Planning provides helpful guidelines fore someone who only wants to spend less than five minutes reading."

The free guide, the fourth to be made available free of charge via the Association's website was first published in Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. "Long term care planning is vitally important because the risk is real and so are the consequences of not having a plan in place," Slome explains. "More people understand that but the subject of long-term care insurance is still confusing and many are not quite sure how or where to begin. This guide will help them with a starting point of information."

"There are significant differences today between long term care insurance policies available," Slome notes. "The cost for virtually identical coverage can vary by between 40 and 90 percent and the small print language in policies will determine your benefits come claim time." The national expert noted that insurance companies do not sell this coverage directly. "Deciding who to work with is probably your most important decision," Slome advises.

Consumers seeking long term care insurance information including a no obligation of comparison costs for coverage from leading insurers are encouraged to contact a designated specialist, a member of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, via the organization's website or by calling 818-597-3227.
