Long Term Care Planning - How as a professional you can help your clients find

a solution now for this problem in the future.

 

Lee Watson, CLTC, Orlando, FL:

What is our client thinking when you introduce the subject of Long Term Care Planning?

·        Clear definition of "Long Term Care" (what it is and where you receive it)

·        LTC's impact on portfolios and retirement lifestyle (I can afford it.  OK, and your wife’s lifestyle, afterward?)

·        LTC's impact on caregivers and family (ripple effect)

·        Options for paying for LTC by Medicare and Medicaid (100 day qualifications, spend down limits)

·        Health qualifying for coverage (automatic No’s)

·        Options for paying for LTC through life insurance and/or traditional LTC insurance

Speakers Bios:

Lee Watson came to be a Long Term Care Planning Specialist by following a route that took him through broadcast journalism and then marketing. Lee went to high school in Lakeland, Florida and college at the University of Florida in Gainesville. That prepared him for a career as a television sports anchorman with stations in Pennsylvania and Florida. Then the entrepreneur spirit took over and Lee owned a very successful advertising and marketing agency in Orlando for fourteen years. Lee is passionate about the value of Long Term Care Planning. He has been focused exclusively in this field for the last eighteen years. Lee cites the experience from interviewing in television news and the communication skills necessary in his marketing company as the foundation to….”Identify the problem (the risk of living a long life and needing help)… and then to explore the possible solutions (the appropriate LTC plan).”
As an only child, Lee has lived the LTC experience twice with his Mother on different claims over the years. His Mom turned “90” this year and is still living independently. He says, “She has taught me a lot about this business….LTC is an event …. and one you cannot predict. When she had care, money was our first thought, but we soon realized it really was about the consequences to Mom’s well-being and the family around her”. Lee and his wife, Debbie, have two adult daughters. He is an avid sport cyclist and likes to ride the many trails in the region. He has recently taken up fly fishing. He and his wife are active in his church’s Reader’s ministry.
