STUDIES NOW INDICATE THAT NEARLY HALF OF ALL AMERICANS ARE UNSURE OF HOW THEY'LL HANDLE LONG-TERM HEALTHCARE--OR ,WORSE YET, SIMPLY DON'T PLAN TO ADDRESS THEIR POTENTIAL LONG-TERM HEALTHCARE-NEEDS. FOLKS ARE LIVING LONGER--WHICH, ACCORDING TO "NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL", MEANS THAT THE NATION'S POPULATION HAS A GREATER NEED FOR LONG-TERM CARE IN THE FUTURE. BECAUSE THAT NEED FOR LONG-TERM CARE IS VERY REAL, WE ALL NEED A STRATEGY. PLANNING AHEAD--AND PUTTING A SOLUTION IN PLACE FOR LONG-TERM CARE-NEEDS--GIVES FAMILIES OPTIONS, AND CAN HELP PROTECT THEIR RETIREMENT NEST-EGGS. EDUCATION AND AWARENESS CAN BE THE SOLUTION. YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE MORE AWARE TODAY OF THE EFFECTS THAT LONG-TERM CARE-NEEDS CAN HAVE ON THEIR LIVES--ESPECIALLY IF THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN A CAREGIVING-ROLE FOR A FAMILY-MEMBER. AS A RESULT, THEY'RE TAKING A MORE-PROACTIVE APPROACH TO ADDRESSING A PLAN OF THEIR OWN, FOR FUTURE NEEDS. TO LEARN MORE, VISIT "NORTHWESTERN-MUTUAL"-DOT-COM.
