These policies are risk-management tools that allow people to maintain their independence and lifestyle. What do individuals want when comparing long term care policies?
• An independent agent who will shop for competitive prices with long term care quotes

• An agent that will explain confusing terms
• A strong company standing behind its policy
• A company with a history of not raising long term care insurance cost for in-force policies
