At Vitality, we offer your clients two options to help them in later life.
More and more of us will develop a care need in later life.
For example, it's predicted that one in three people born today will develop some form of dementia in their lifetime1.
We're also living for longer. In 50 years' time, there'll be 8.6 million more people aged 65 and over in the UK2. However, not all those years may be spent in good health.
So it's a good idea to help your clients plan ahead because you never know what tomorrow may bring.
Our two Later Life Options.
- Dementia and FrailCare Cover - available for no extra upfront cost or health questions. Cover is calculated at the start of your client’s plan as 50% of their remaining Serious Illness Cover. The maximum amount available is £100,000.
- Dementia and FrailCare Cover Plus - available at an extra cost. Cover is calculated at the start of your client’s plan as 100% of their remaining Serious Illness Cover. The maximum amount available is £200,000.
During the final year of your client’s Serious Illness Cover term, we'll contact them to let them know that their later life cover is about to begin.
