While many people view market risk as the primary concern, a significant risk actually lies in the potential need for long-term care. In today's rapidly aging population, where life expectancies are increasing steadily, we are facing a caregiving crisis with over 53 million people providing care to their loved ones. The bottom line for businesses are also impacted, experiencing higher levels of absenteeism due to unplanned caregiving by employees.  This issue has greatly affected our lifestyles, finances, and poses further challenges to aging comfortably at home.
