Life Insurance Products
Genworth offers both long-term care insurance and group long-term care insurance.
Long-Term Care Insurance
According to Genworth, “long term care insurance is coverage that you purchase in the event that you are one of the overwhelming majority of people who will need some form of long term care as they age. If you are unable to perform simple everyday tasks by yourself, like going to the bathroom, getting dressed, feeding yourself, or getting from place to place, you will need long term care services or support.”
The cost of care depends on where you live, how much care you need. To get an estimate calculated on your needs and location, contact Genworth today.
Group Long-Term Care Insurance
Genworth also offers Group Long-Term Care Insurance. If you already get your other benefits from work, it may make sense to look into group long-term care insurance options offered by your employer.

Hi I’ve seemed to misplaced my policy was wondering how to get in touch with someone to get a copy of the old one thank you Debbie Reiber ( life insurance policy)
When my sister and I were little our parents got a life insurance policy for each of us, this might have been around 1957 or so. It was through Life of Virginia. We lived in Perrysburg, Ohio. Our parents names were and are Elmer H McCarty and Phebe M (McCarty)Bartolomeo. Our dad passed away in 1989 our mother is still living. We were wondering if there is a way you could help us find our policies.
My name is Lois Marie (McCarty) Pittenger
My sisters name is Shirley Mae (McCarty)McGovern
I am not sure of the name of the Insurance agent, but I do know he was from the Perrysburg/Rossford Ohio area.
Thank you for your help.
