In fact, Long Term Care insurance is the benefit most frequently requested by employees.8

Reasons for the demand: “Pension Insurance”

● Financial planners recommend it

“Sandwich generation” doesn’t want to burden their children

● They have experienced the toll of care-

giving firsthand

Self-funding is almost impossible ● 56% of people between ages of 45 – 54

don’t think they can afford to finance their own long term care9

LTC is in demand in the workplace
