Who is Eligible for a Long Term Care Consultation?
Everyone is eligible for a Long Term Care Consultation. Whether you are a caregiver for a loved one, are concerned about your own long-term care needs, or just planning for your future, a Long Term Care Consultation may help you decide what is best for you. The consultation is free and there are no financial considerations.

- Information explaining the methods to use to apply for long-term care options.
- A personalized list of factors to consider when deciding on long-term care options mentioned above.
