“The Lincoln study surveyed 500 people between the ages of 40-70, and found that of those with a financial advisor, only 45 percent have discussed long-term care with their advisor, and only few were aware of the wide range of solutions available to help address the potential financial impact of long-term care.  …  For additional findings from Lincoln’s “2016 Long-Term Awareness Study,” please view this presentation at Lincoln’s website.”
