Raise Your Alzheimer’s Awareness
November is Alzheimer’s Awareness and Family Caregivers Month. Learn more about this far-reaching disease and how your Platinum-marketed policy can help protect your financial security in case of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
Alzheimer’s disease ranks high on the list of critical illnesses affecting individuals and their families within the U.S. More than five million Americans currently live with the disease—that’s 1 in 10 people 65 and older. And, according to the Alzheimer’s Association, the number of affected Americans could triple over the next 30 years.
Alzheimer’s disease has far-reaching effects. According to the Alzheimer’s Association alz.org®, more than 15 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia. In 2016, these caregivers provided an estimated 18.2 billion hours of care valued at over $230 billion.1
At Platinum Supplemental Insurance, our mission is to provide the best products and services to our customers, products that help protect families from difficult financial circumstances that can arise from a critical illness diagnosis. This is why most policies we now market include large lump-sum benefits for Alzheimer’s Disease. These benefits can be used to address costly out-of-pocket expenses, such as deductibles, copays, travel costs or day-to-day care.
If you have questions about the benefits in a policy you currently own, call our friendly, knowledgeable customer service team at 1-855-637-6550.
