COMING IN APRIL

We are excited to announce the publication of two books by the National Care Planning Council. They will be on our website and available in April 2007.

1. "The 4 Steps of Long Term Care Planning"
"Providing Elder Care for a Loved One and Planning Future Care for Yourself"

  • 109 pages filled with detailed information about creating your plan for long term care and how and why you need to use Long Term Care Professionals.
  • What the Government programs will and will not cover for you
  • Check lists and planning sheets to fill in the important information you will need, such as names, phone numbers, account numbers and financial plans.
  • Information on who to turn for help in providing urgent care of elder family members
  • How to secure the funds needed for Long Term Care and resources to help pay for immediate care needs
  • Directives to guide the reader to our website and ultimately to your professional services.

This book is to educate the public and introduce them to the Long Term Care Professionals that can help them plan and prepare finances for their own elder care and give resources for the immediate care of their elder family members. We are sure you will find it a valuable resource in promoting your services.

2. "Long Term Care Benefits for Veterans"
