“Poll reveals short-term thinking about long-term care,” MedicalXpress

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:
Ignorance is bliss … until it isn’t. But the public isn’t as stupid as this article makes them appear. To learn why most people ignore LTC until they need it and still come out with their wealth intact, read the Paragon Health Institute’s “Long-Term Care: The Problem” and “Long-Term Care: The Solution” and watch this “virtual LTC event” featuring age wave visionary Ken Dychtwald and leading LTC researchers.
