Your entire lifestyle is protected by your income. Have you considered how you would maintain your current lifestyle if you became disabled, critically ill, or unable to perform your daily activities? Although no one likes to think about being injured or becoming ill you can’t afford to ignore the possibility.
Disability
A disability plan is an essential benefit that can protect you anywhere in the world 24 hours a day in case of disability due to an injury or illness.
Consider ‘income replacement’ benefits with a Traditional Disability Plan or a Guaranteed Issue Disability Plan. We offer a variety of plans designed for the self-employed, for individuals with or without remunerative work, and those in high risk occupations.

Long Term Care & In-Home Care
Why is Long Term Care or In-Home Care insurance necessary?
Concern is growing, particularly among ‘baby boomers’ that people are going to outlive their assets. Will their savings be enough to cover the cost of Long Term Care? Will they be able to choose between home and facility care if they become ill? Will they become a financial and emotional burden on their families and friends?
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, 42% of people who turned 65 in 1990 will spend time in a nursing home before they die.
New technology and medical breakthroughs are prolonging life; but at the same time contributing to a greater number of people living longer with chronic disabling conditions.
As the burden of health care shifts more and more to the individual, Long Term Care insurance offers protection and security.
Benefits & Options:
- Provides a tax-free daily benefit amount in the event of long term illness or disability.
- Offers an alternative to using assets to finance long term care costs.
- Enables you to remain in your home as long as possible.
- Allows you to choose a facility that meets your standards of care, comfort & location.
- Safeguards your hard earned retirement assets, children’s inheritance, and plans for charitable giving.
Most importantly, Long Term Care insurance protects your quality of life, independence, freedom of choice, and dignity.
