12 MAY 2025 · Listen in as host Steve Kuker, President of Senior Care Consulting, warns everyone to be protective of their Long Term Care Insurance policy, as there seems to be a trend in receiving calls asking if you want to “upgrade” your policy. Many times, this “upgrade” would change your lifetime benefit to a 3-5 year benefit, which is NOT in your favor. Don’t miss the Consumer Alert where Steve will share some shocking, publicly available, Better Business Bureau complaints about a “free” referral service. Steve exposes the revenue model of a new flavor of “free” referral service and encourages you to ask the fair and important question: “how much money will you be paid by the facility you’re recommending, if I choose that one?” Spoiler alert: Steve was recently mistakenly offered $6,750 by a place that is willing to pay these “free” referral services up to 100% of the first month’s cost! Steve discusses Senior Care Consulting franchise opportunities all across America where you can offer A Placement Service With Integrity® in your market. Get in on the ground floor and be a part of the Senior Care Consulting “Founder’s Club”! Steve also recognizes Mother’s Day! #SeniorCare #SeniorCareLive #SeniorCareConsulting #SeniorLiving #KansasCitySeniorCare #SeniorCarePlacement #SeniorCareAdvisor #Franchise #SeniorCareFranchise #Fiduciary(800) 331-6445
