Humans have a longer life expectancy today compared to the last 20 years. 

However, the cost of long-term care and an increase in patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s has changed the way we consider long-term care planning.

In this episode, Anthony Ridd from Crump Life Insurance Services joins Robert Curtiss to explain the role of long-term care planning when it comes to financial planning.

  • Ways health conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s have impacted the way people plan for long-term care
