But what about our caregivers, who selflessly tend the disabled &#8211; helping them eat, bathe, go to the bathroom, dress? Our society could not function without caregivers, yet we give them short shrift when handing out thank-you&#8217;s. To rectify this, LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP) proposes a Labor Day token of thanks. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t have to be fancy or costly,&#8221; says Denise Gott, LTCFP&#8217;s National Sales Manager. &#8220;Just some token to those who have helped you or someone in your family. Labor Day is the perfect time for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> The token could be:<br \/> * A greeting card,<br \/> * Flowers, or a single rose,<br \/> * An edible treat,<br \/> * A framed picture of the person they&#8217;re helping,<br \/> * A simple phone call, or<br \/> * In-person thanks with a hug.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The main thing is to let the caregiver know you care about them and truly appreciate all they do, delivered in a spirit of devotion,&#8221; Gott says.<\/p>\n<p> Some caregivers are low-paid professionals such as nurses and home-care aides. Most, numbering in the millions, are unpaid relatives of those needing care, mostly female, who sacrifice careers and personal lives. &#8220;Millions of men provide care services, too,&#8221; says Gott. &#8220;Chances are most us will become caregivers at some time. And most of us will need caregiving of some form eventually. So let&#8217;s get in the habit of showing our appreciation for this great labor of love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Gott&#8217;s organization makes life easier for unpaid caregivers (mostly family members) by providing funds for professional care through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ltcfp.com\/\">affordable long-term care insurance<\/a>. This allows breadwinners to maintain family income and lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>The following state-certified agents, all LTCI specialists, are available for consultation by phone:<\/strong><br \/> CA: Jim Valentine &#8212; 408-792-0540<br \/> CA: Todd Stein &#8212; 415-861-5088 <br \/> CA: Sarah Fisher &#8212; 510-230-4301<br \/> CA: Paula Taylor &#8212; 510-763-5002<br \/> CA: Laura Weber &#8212; 714-674-0190<br \/> CA: Sandra Stanley &#8212; 888-316-8919 <br \/> CA: Phyllis Solgere &#8212; 909-627-5587<br \/> CA: Petra Petry &#8212; 949-351-0347<br \/> CA: Michael Scoles &#8212; 408-264-1759<\/p>\n<p> CT: Leonard Wik &#8212; 860-432-1870<br \/> CT: Steve Foss &#8212; 860-539-0674<br \/> CT: Larry Golfin &#8212; 860-677-4075<\/p>\n<p> FL: Janet Washburn &#8212; 239-404-7590<br \/> FL: George Braddock &#8212; 305-378-8091<br \/> FL: Jerry Grubba &#8212; 727-515-1910<br \/> FL: Mike Rou &#8212; 904-276-9583<\/p>\n<p> GA: Amy Pollock &#8212; 404-237-1189<br \/> GA: Belen Hickman &#8212; 404-245-2444<\/p>\n<p> ID: Linda Hicks &#8212; 208-331-2803<\/p>\n<p> IL: Bobbi Foster &#8212; 630-513-0034<br \/> IL: Cheri Davis &#8212; 773-531-0669<br \/> IL: Robin Frank &#8212; 773-774-2600<\/p>\n<p> IN: Kirk Bennett &#8212; 260-969-1310<\/p>\n<p> MI: Marybeth Bayer &#8212; 734-222-9882<br \/> MI: Tom Varner &#8212; 810-796-2405<\/p>\n<p> MN: Jennifer Ragborg &#8212; 952-898-2750<\/p>\n<p> MO: Keith Eisberg &#8212; 573-303-3007<br \/> MO: Wendy Rinehart &#8212; 816-886-2358<\/p>\n<p> NE: Larry Neuwirth &#8212; 308-635-2023<br \/> NE: Larry Heinert &#8212; 402-339-8643<\/p>\n<p> NJ: Gary Melnikoff &#8212; 201-265-1958<br \/> NJ: Richard Landau &#8212; 201-476-0880<br \/> NJ: Michael B.
