term care insurance into one flexible life insurance policy that provides choice and control.

There’s a death benefit to leave to your heirs and funds for long term care situations.

SCENARIO #1 - What If You Never Need Long Term Care?
If you don’t end up needing the long term care benefits, you can rest assure that the death benefit received is going to be more than the money you invested invested.
