Genworth Life Insurance Information 

When it comes to long-term care insurance, Genworth has more than 40 years of experience in this particular niche. The company has issued more than one million long-term care insurance policies – which can cover a policyholder for care that is received in a skilled nursing home facility, as well as an assisted care facility and at the policy holder’s home. More than 200,000 policyholders have already begun to receive their long-term care benefits, which in turn, has saved them thousands of dollars – or more – throughout the years.

Genworth Financial remains committed to its customers and policyholders. The company is also actively engaged in public policy advocacy on various issues that are important to its business, its customers, its employees, and its distributors. It also provides a wide range of tools and information that can help people with achieving financial security, as well as to better understand various financial trends.

Genworth is also committed to helping families to become more secure financially. One way it does so is through its commitment to the Genworth Foundation – which provides grants to global non-profits that are addressing various financial related issues.

Financial Strength

Genworth has received “B” ratings from major credit rating agencies.

Due to the company changes starting in 2016, Genworth has experienced losses and a significant cut in earnings. Since then, Genworth has partnered with China Oceanwide, who plans to acquire them. Since 2016, there have been 13 delays of acquisition due to state, national and international rules and regulations. 

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. 

Genworth offers voluntary programs to employers with 500 or more employees. Employer-paid programs are available for groups with 150 or more employees.

If you are an employer or broker who works with employers and would like to learn more about Genworth group long term care insurance, please contact Genworth for more information.

History of Genworth

Genworth Financial is a large insurance and financial services entity that was initially established back in 1871.

The company was originally founded as The Life Insurance Company of Virginia, and more than 100 years after its origination, Life of Virginia was acquired by Combined Insurance – which just one year later became Aon plc.

Genworth does business in all 50 of the United States, and the company is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. It also has offices in Raleigh, North Carolina, Lynchburg, Virginia, and Stamford, Connecticut.

Summary

If you are considering long-term care insurance for your parents, it may make sense to take a small premium payment now to save thousands in the future. 

Don’t let your finances be wrecked or rely on your family to pay for these bills in the future. Long-term care insurance will ensure you or your family don’t suffer financially because of your health care assistance needs.

    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.
