In one instance, a client approached Gordon Associates with concerns regarding their long-term care coverage. Their initial policy was designed to provide benefits for a limited period of four years, with the expectation that it would be sufficient for their anticipated care needs.
Gordon Associates conducted a thorough review of the client’s policy and assessed their current and future care needs. The company foresaw the possibility of health challenges like dementia due to their smoking habits and proposed a strategic solution—a policy with unlimited benefits. This provided long-term security and peace of mind for the customer and their family, covering their care needs for 14 years.
