A new tax is soon to be introduced in Washington State — if you aren't enrolled in a private long-term care plan, your employer will need to collect an assessment from your paychecks to be added to the Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Program fund.

Many of us don't know anything about this program, but fortunately, Sean Crowder and Tina Bendermacher do! 

In this episode, learn more about the LTSS Program, the benefits and drawbacks, the necessity of having a long-term care plan, and what your options are, if you're a resident of Washington State.

Tina Bendermacher is a Sales Manager at Brookdale Senior Living and an expert on senior care, both for the independent and for those who need a higher level of assistance. You can contact her for more information at 206.512.7730 or [email protected].
