Sycamore Village Assisted Living – Swansea, IL

On August 5th, the cross country tour, "3 in 4 Need More", made a stop at Sycamore Village.  The campaign has gained national attention, appearing on FOX News as well as the Today Show. The tour, sponsored by Prudential Life Insurance, is creating awareness and stressing the importance of Long Term Care insurance for all Americans.  Presented by Dr. Marion Sommers, a long term care advocate, she states that 75% of Americans do not have coverage for long term care.  With the Baby Boomers growing older, the need grows greater, not only for indivduals, but for all forms of government that financially assist in long term care through programs such as Medicaid.  Dr. Marion spoke in front of a large crowd at Sycamore Village and focused on 4 major objectives of the campaign:

1. Spread the word among the public that “3 in 4 Need More”.

2. Support Congressional moves to provide additional tax deductions or rebates to help people better afford long term care insurance.

3. Stimulate others in industry, education, government to join the “3 in 4 Need More” campaign.

4. Educate the public that long term care insurance or federal entitlement plans may not be a solution for everyone, but everyone needs a long term care plan.

Sycamore Village Assisted Living continues to be a community resource for health care issues that impact the public at large.
