A Very Satisfied Customer

The excellent and sufficient time to understand the purchase of a LTCi policy was outstanding.  I was not sure and uncomfortable about this step in life and value to me and my family.  Melissa was able to clearly and to the level I needed explain, provide answers and work to find the right LTC for me. Thank you - a very satisfied customer.

Or are you in your own home, tended to by paid caregivers, with visits from family and friends?
