No financial plan is truly complete without an extended care strategy—and here’s why. Medicare and Medicaid offer only limited long-term care coverage, often leaving significant gaps. Out-of-pocket costs can quickly erode your savings and place added stress on you and your loved ones. That’s why extended care planning typically combines several sources, such as: ✅ Insurance ✅ Government programs ✅ Self-funding The earlier you plan, the more flexibility and options you’ll have. Let’s connect to create a strategy that fits seamlessly into your overall financial plan. See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures. Thrivent is not connected with or endorsed by the U.S. government or the federal Medicare program.
