Needed to find a better option than what the new Washington State tax was going to provide and wanted portability. Was very pleased with the process.

Bill accommodated my schedule and explained things really well. I was uncertain about cost versus benefit and was able to make an educated decision on my choice.

This turned out to be the most pleasant experience in the process of obtaining Long Care Insurance. Mr. Jonathan **, LTC Consumer Specialist, made this very easy.

He went over several different scenarios offered by the different companies within my geographical area of South Carolina. I appreciated how detailed he was in presenting all of it to me.

In the end, and because of Jonathan, I made the decision to go with a company that I felt would best serve my needs in the future, and... at a very reasonably cost. I can't thank him enough. A Very Satisfied Client

I looked at long term care insurance over several months and did as much reading as I could to educate myself. I also went through associations such as AARP and communicated with people recommended by them.

Cathy was superior to all the others in her knowledge and experience in the long term care insurance profession.

I had been researching LTC companies for about 2 years. I have talked to 4-5 brokers but Cathy ** was the best. She is knowledgeable, courteous, patient, professional, helpful, concise and always prompt to reply to my emails.

I feel she is trustworthy, honest and dependable, and has been willing to go the extra mile to answer my questions and meet my needs for additional information.

I did my homework before reaching out to you but I had so many questions and Millie made me feel so comfortable even though I was out of my element.

She had such great knowledge and suggestions that fit our individual needs. Such a wonderful personality and was a pleasure to navigate and work with…. THANKS! Susan **.

My wife and I worked with Lisa over the last few months to apply for a long term care policy. She was very knowledgeable, and presented a number of options for us from different carriers.

It was always clear that she was working to get a policy that made the most sense for us, with an eye toward keeping costs manageable, while at the same time getting the features that were most helpful for our situation.

Her friendly demeanor made the whole process very comfortable.

Having recently retired, my wife and I decided to investigate Long-Term Care (LTC) insurance. During this process, we were blessed and fortunate to contact Ms. Sarae **.

Sarae was very knowledgeable about the differing plans offered by the competing LTC companies, and she patiently explained the meaning and impact of each element in our decision-making process.

My in-laws are currently in an Assisted Living facility, and my mother required a nursing home for the last 18 months of her life, so we are well-acquainted with the need to be financially prepared for such an event for our future selves.

Sarae helped us navigate our options and provided great advice to help us be prepared, but not overly insured. She offered different options, but did not push us into making any decisions.

I would recommend anyone requesting information regarding LTC insurance to seek out Ms. **.

It was a pleasure to work with Johnathen **. He was knowledgeable and detailed individual that explained everything. I would definitely refer him and work with him again.

The way he explained and went over each plan with the pros and cons made it very easy to understand the process of elimination.

Through Retirement Living's site, I sought assistance on the best options & Companies on Long Term Care Insurance. Through LTC Consumer I submitted an inquiry. Jonathan ** from LTC immediately called me to answer basic LTIC questions, then he subsequently set up two conference calls with us to not only educate my wife and I, but also then to review the possible Companies and coverage choices, along with their associated premiums.

Jonathan's style was easy going, informative, detailed, and collaborative. After the conference call ** family questions were all answered, and we as a couple made our decision on the long term care insurance Company & the coverage we wanted, Jonathan guided us through the online application process with that Company and for the plan we picked.

We are consequently awaiting the next steps in the application process with that Company. We wanted to thank Jonathan and LTC Consumer for their help. I have already recommended Jonathan and LTC to three other couples who are similarly reviewing whether or not to obtain long term care insurance Regards George and Susan **
