Barry’s grandmother did not have long term care insurance. When she fell on ill health, she had to spend her assets until she had none left. That experience had a profound effect on him—catalyzing his mission to help others avoid those kinds of hardships. He believes people should be able to age with dignity; to have their needs met as they get older; to feel like a joy and not a burden to their families; and to leave proud legacies behind.
