Technology is profoundly human. It helps shape, and is shaped by, our social practices, including caregiving strategies.

Life Insurance Settlements – Benefitting Your Client…and You!

January 29, 2020 - Lisa Rehburg

Many clients are looking for additional sources to fund their health care and long-term care needs. One asset that most people don’t consider is their life insurance policy. 500,000 seniors a year lapse their life insurance policies, walking away with little or nothing. Why? They no longer want or need the policy, and don’t know there is another option. Through a life insurance settlement, a client can sell their unwanted policy for a lump sum of cash. This cash can be used to pay for their care needs.

Goal: Introduce the audience to what a life insurance settlement is and how it can be useful as a funding source for clients’ care. We bring the audience through all aspects of life insurance settlements from their history and regulation to the types of clients where they work best through to how much a policy can be worth.

Be Prepared: Crisis Communications Strategies for Aging Life Care Professionals®

April 11, 2019 - Leslie Larson

Crisis communications is as much a risk management task as a public relations effort. With proper planning and training, those serving an aging population and their families can ensure that should an unfortunate incident occur, it can be managed. This can be the difference between a crisis that is controlled and one that threatens a company’s reputation, morale, marketing and sales efforts and, ultimately, its bottom line.
