Life insurance is often thought of as income replacement, but it could also be considered care replacement.

It’s estimated that unpaid caregivers spend an average of 20 hours a week helping disabled or elderly family members with tasks of daily living. Replacing that care with paid help could cost thousands of dollars a month.

When a caregiver passes away, families often face financial and relational hardship to fill in the care gaps left behind.

With a financial resource like life insurance available, the transition doesn’t have to be as difficult.

Please join us in praying for Pope Leo's healing and health as he recovers from surgery following a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora have provided the following update on the Pope’s postoperative recovery:

This morning, the Holy Father underwent the blood tests and chest X-ray scheduled after surgery. The results confirm that his postoperative recovery is progressing normally: the values are within the expected range for the type of operation performed.

The Holy Father has undergone respiratory physiotherapy and has begun walking around his room. He has resumed eating normally and had breakfast and lunch.

His recovery is proceeding as expected.

The unpaid caregiver is the unsung hero of the American household.

Most disabled, chronically ill or elderly people living at home receive care from an unpaid caregiver, like a spouse or family member. That caregiver helps with dressing, transfers, food preparation, transportation and other non-medical services necessary for daily living.

If that caregiver were to pass away, is the family prepared to replace that care? Are there funds available to hire services if another unpaid caregiver can’t step in to help?

Life insurance can be a financial resource to help families replace the services a caregiver provides. Talk to an advisor today to discuss your family’s needs.
