The best time for you or your family members to consider long-term care insurance is long before you need it.
IF someone you care about is ever diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, you should know you’re not alone. Some 5.4 million Americans have the condition now and, as the U.S. population ages, many more individuals are likely to be diagnosed. It’s estimated the number of people age 65 or older with Alzheimer’s disease will increase as much as 40 percent by 2025 and triple by 2050, barring any medical breakthroughs to prevent or cure the disease.
