All About Annuities
Annuities are the safest investment option if you wish to increase your retirement earnings, instead of letting them languish in the bank. Since your funds are invested in conservative stocks and mutual funds, annuities raise your earning potential and lower your stock market risk. Smallwood and Small features a variety of annuities fit to your life. Contact us today.
Long Term Care Insurance
Whether you’re the child of an aging parent or an active senior, long term care insurance is an essential component of retirement planning. While Medicare and employer-based plans may cover short-term nursing home stays or temporary at-home care, they don’t cover the extended care services that you may need. Protect your finances and your family from the burden of care—explore your options today.

Respite Care Insurance
You’re caring for mom or dad with courage and compassion, but you’re overwhelmed by the task at hand. Respite care insurance is exclusively designed to restore a caregiver’s emotional and physical well-being. Providing temporary relief from caregiving duties, respite care insurance reduces stress for you and your ailing loved one. While Medicare provides for respite care in the event of a life-threatening illness, it only covers individuals qualifying for hospice benefits. Every caregiver deserves a breather; contact Smallwood and Small today.
