MINNEAPOLIS,
“We are pleased to partner with a quality organization in Amada Senior Care, and to introduce their clients to the LifeCare Xchange,” said Chris Orestis, GWG Life’s Executive Vice President of Life Insurance Secondary Markets. “The LifeCare Xchange was designed to provide an answer to the failure-to-plan crisis facing seniors and their families by creating alternative uses for life insurance policies, including covering the costs of retirement and long-term care.” The two firms are dedicated to finding solutions for seniors in their post-retirement years. In creating the LifeCare Xchange, GWG Life began focusing on turning life insurance policies into assets that can be used for retirement needs, including a tax-free benefit exempt from Medicaid spend-down requirements that can be used for health care and senior living expenses. This coincided perfectly with Amada Senior Care’s mission of working to ensure seniors are aware of all available options to fund their care needs. “As we have helped seniors across America navigate the complexities of the senior care system we have looked for partners who are creating innovative solutions,” said Tafa Jefferson, CEO of Amada Senior Care. “The LifeCare Xchange provides eligible seniors with a range of funding options they might not otherwise know about that can address the high costs of retirement and long-term care.” Jefferson founded Amada Senior Care in 2007 with long-time friend and company president Chad Fotheringham. The pair began franchising in 2012 with a focus on providing quality care, choice, innovation and professionals within the home care industry. Over the last six years, the organization has formed a strong national presence, with over 100 locations in the United States. Already a leader in the life insurance secondary market, GWG Life introduced the LifeCare Xchange in 2017 to offer seniors alternative uses for life insurance policies to address the costs of retirement and long-term care. GWG Life specifically designed the LifeCare Xchange in response to the issue of Americans’ failure to plan for the cost of long-term care, one of the most potentially devastating financial challenges families are facing.
