More than half of people turning 65 this year will need some kind of long-term care in their lives, and an assisted living facility or home health aide costs around $50,000 per year.1 Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, older Americans face more health risks than usual, and the long-term effects of COVID could lead to a rise in the need for long-term care among older Americans.

On Thursday, December 10 at 12PM ET, Ann Jevne, Senior Wealth Advisor at GYL Financial Synergies, LLC and Richard M. Starr, Principal & Member of Life & Legacy Planning, LLC will participate in a discussion moderated by Gerald Goldberg, CEO and Co-Founder of GYL Financial Synergies, LLC regarding long-term care insurance and how the COVID-19 pandemic could potentially change the long-term care landscape.

  • The role of long-term care insurance
  • The rising cost and changing landscape of long-term care across the country, particularly during COVID-19
  • How long-term care impacts your finances and your family
