SpecialCareSM
If you care for a loved one with a disability or other special need, it’s important that you look beyond their medical care and the help you provide on a daily basis. How you plan for their financial well-being – and yours as well – may make a tremendous difference in your lifestyles.
You’re aware of the dedication needed to provide day-to-day care and the challenge of locating appropriate assistance and services. You also know what extras are needed or have been wished for: therapeutic equipment, summer camp or a particular vacation. But what will happen to your loved one’s access to all those extras if something happens to you?
The SpecialCareSM program, developed exclusively by MassMutual, is an innovative outreach initiative that provides access to information, specialists, and financial products and services that can help improve the quality of life for people with disabilities and other special needs and their families and caregivers.
Appropriate planning is required to ensure that the same loving care will continue to be provided for your special needs individual when you are no longer able to. Our Special Care Planners are trained in the needs of caregivers and the loved ones they care for.
The Special Care Planner receives advanced training and information in estate and tax planning concepts, special needs trusts, government programs, and the emotional dynamics of working with people with disabilities and other special needs and their families. The certificate program is offered by The American College in Bryn Mawr, PA, exclusively for MassMutual financial professionals.
