The Hidden Crisis Destroying Families Who Don't Have Long-Term Care Insurance
The Devastating Reality Without Long-Term Care Insurance
Average nursing or cognitive care home costs: $108,405 per year
Home care services: $61,776 annually
70% of people over 65 will need long-term care
Most families without proper insurance exhaust three generations of wealth within 2.5 years
What This Means for Your Family
Your parents’ retirement nest egg – built over decades of hard work – could vanish in months without long-term care insurance protection. Medicare won’t cover it. Your own retirement plans may have to be abandoned to pay for their care. Without proper long term care insurance planning, you could face the heartbreaking choice between your parents’ care and your children’s college fund.
The Impossible Choice
Every year, millions of adult children like you are forced into an agonizing decision: drain your savings to pay for your parents’ care, or watch them suffer in substandard facilities. Many sacrifice their careers, mortgage their homes, and destroy their own retirement security trying to do the right thing – all because they didn’t have adequate long-term care insurance in place.
The Ripple Effect
Your Career: Taking time off for caregiving responsibilities
Your Marriage: Financial stress tears families apart
Your Children: College funds redirected to grandparents' care
Your Retirement: Delayed by decades or eliminated entirely
Your Parents: Guilt and feeling in crisis, watching their care disrupt their children's future

Real Families Raymond Has Protected with Long-Term Care Insurance Solutions
"Raymond found solutions when others said it was impossible." "We are retired and waited longer than we should to own extended care benefits. My wife could not qualify medically for extended care benefits, but I was able to get coverage. Raymond could have stopped there but with his knowledge and expertise, he recommended a critical care plan that my wife could qualify for which will provide benefits if she needs caregiving services. You are a professional and I am pleased to recommend you to my family, friends, and loved ones."
"He made the complex simple and gave us real peace of mind." "We appreciate your patience in helping us work through the process. My wife is not insurable, and I needed surgery before I could be approved for long-term care benefits. Thanks to your help, I will have funds available to pay for home care, assisted living, or nursing care services if I ever need them. In addition, the plan will provide benefits for my wife if she needs care."
"Raymond protected our family ranch for the next generation." "The accountant for our North Dakota ranch suggested that my husband and I should investigate extended care benefits because we both have health issues. When we provided our medical histories, Raymond was authentic and explained that I would not qualify medically for extended care benefits, but my husband probably would qualify. But then he surprised us by finding an option that we hadn't considered - long-term-care coverage for my husband and a critical care plan for me."
"He listened and understood when others wouldn't." "Although I had spoken with others about extended care benefits, you were the first person I felt comfortable with. Few of the others listened to my concerns. Although I thought I couldn't afford long-term care coverage, you patiently showed me what is possible, and I understood that the need for long-term care will affect my family even more than it will affect me. What you designed is a plan that will allow me and my family to conserve our money and retain our dignity."
"Finally, someone who explained everything clearly." "Within minutes, I felt comfortable with your knowledge and approach as you asked questions and then listened to my concerns. Using a screen-sharing program, you showed me exactly how you design long-term care plans. No one had ever done that, and it made working with you easy. I can see that with home health, physical therapy, and other health issues, older folks without LTC could really get in financial trouble. Certainly gives me peace of mind to have a policy!"

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys.

Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs.
