Oklahoma City, OK -- Oklahoma Nurses Association (ONA) will begin making Long-Term Care education and insurance available to its nurses, employees of the association and their families.

"After an extensive search, we've entered into an arrangement with LTC Financial Partners, LLC" said

Executive Director, Jane Nelson. "Through this arrangement, LTC Financial Partners will provide our nurses and their families with superior Long-Term Care education and access to discounted rates for Long-Term Care insurance plans. Employees actively at work may qualify for simplified health underwriting for a limited time in addition to discounted rates."

"Long-Term care costs are an expense that can directly threaten the financial security and independence of an individual and their extended family, particularly in retirement," stated Nelson.

Long-term care is becoming an increasingly important consideration as the American population ages. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 60% of seniors over age 65 will need some type of long-term care. This year, that number is expected to be more than nine million Americans. By 2020, it could exceed 12 million.

LTC Financial Partners, LLC is one of the country's most experienced long-term care organizations, specializing in educating and empowering consumers about long-term care issues. With offices nationwide, they offer face-to-face or telephone counseling and advice to individuals and employers regarding their specific long-term care financing needs. They are committed to helping people live life fully and completely in dignity, comfort and independence without financial burden.

(LTCFP) will launch the new program immediately. Specific details about the program will be shared directly with ONA participants based upon a phased implementation plan.
