Universal Life/Long Term Care Insurance:

If an accident or illness suddenly left you unable to care for yourself, do you have family or friends who would be available and willing to help out? People of all ages become ill or injured in a fashion that requires ongoing care. Long-Term Care insurance assures that you can afford the care you need in your home, assisted living/adult day care facility or nursing home. Two new benefit products are available.

Universal Life/Long Term Care through Colonial Voluntary Benefits

The policy’s tax-free death benefit can help cover final expenses and provide financial security for a family’s future expenses, while an included rider gives employees flexibility to use their death benefit for covered long-term care expenses. An Accelerated Death Benefit for Qualified Long-Term Care Services Rider draws down the death benefit to help pay for covered long-term care expenses.
