Michael Westling, Neighbor

My passion is to help people protect their loved-ones from the financial and emotional stress of a long term care event. The energy I devote to my career is based on my experience of living through my own long term care crisis and trying to forewarn people of its consequences. In addition I have 10 years of experience in marketing senior housing. This makes me uniquely qualified to understand the issues families have when faced with placing their loved-one in a senior community.

I believe I'm helping Baby Boomers understand the consequences of leaving this risk unprotected.  I work with self-reliant people that want to protect their hard-earned assets, retirement income, and family from the greatest uninsured risk facing our generation. I want to reach-out especially to women, because this is a woman's issue. Most caregiving is performed unpaid by the females in the family and most claims are filed by women. Longevity is keeping us alive longer, it's logical we will need care when we age.

I live in Eagan with my wife and two college students.
