According to the “2011 Financial Reality Check Study” conducted by Genworth, 75% of Americans have never had a conversation about long term care with their loved ones. However, 70% would not know what to do if a family member were to require immediate long term care assistance; an alarming statistic considering that 6 out of 10 people will need long term care sometime during their lifetimes. The data also suggests consumers are suffering from overall financial planning inertia; however, the lack of education around long term care (LTC) planning can have significant consequences.

“What can you do in 5 weeks?
Climb the sixth-highest mountain in the world… and do it after 50.
You could build a 25 foot 9 inch house of cards with 1800 decks of cards… and a whole lot of patience.
You (and a friend) could ride a motorcycle from Alaska to Argentina.
You could watch a complete baseball game in all thirty major league ballparks. That’s a lot of hot dogs.
Why not run 7 marathons, on 7 continents.
You could build a spaceship and launch your dog into orbit. The Soviet Union did it.
Real people did all these things…so what could you do in 5 weeks? Something extraordinary.
Attend real classes for real credits at Kaplan University- and only pay if you stay.
Five weeks to see if Kaplan University is the right fit for you.
