TIP # 5: Consider purchasing
long term care (LTC) insurance.
Because we are living longer, many of
us will require some type of assistance
as we age. The sooner you purchase
a policy, the lower the premium will
be. Check with business organizations
of which you or your children might
be members. I was able to obtain
coverage for my parents through the
American Institute of CPA (AICPA) at a
lower rate than market.
TIP # 6: If you are a military
veteran, explore the benefits
that your country has ear-
marked for you and your
spouse. The Veterans Administration
(VA) will not only cover many of
your medical prescriptions and doc-
tor visits; you and your spouse may
also be entitled to benefits that will
cover home health care and tempo-
rary respite stays. There are income
eligibility requirements, but the VA
looks at income after your health care
needs. Visit www.va.gov/GERIATRICS

My final TIP to all the seniors and
your family and friends is to Enjoy
