She is married with 3 children and has been in the printing business pretty much her entire life. Both her father and grandfather worked in the business as printers and other family members continue in the business in one capacity of another. She enjoys the business – especially meeting those deadlines, and her best advice for clients is to start the process earlier than later. Deni and her family enjoy camping – almost twice monthly!

Myth Four: Long Term Care is inexpensive
Myth Five: Medicare or Medical will pay for my Long Term Care
Myth Six: My odds of needing Long Term Care Are slim to none
Myth Seven: Medical Insurance will pay for Long Term Care
Myth Eight: I won’t need Long Term Care
Myth Nine: My family will pay for my Long Term Care
Myth Ten: Children or spouse will take care of me
Myth Eleven: Retirement Savings will pay for Long Term Care
Myth Twelve: Long Term Care Insurance is just for old people
