Sun Retirement Health Assist

The opportunity

It's easy to take our ability to perform day-to-day activities for granted, but this can change, especially as we age.

The level of health care and personal assistance we need, and the cost to meet these needs, will increase with age with the average Canadian experiencing 9 to 14 of the final years of their life in diminished health.*

As you build and review retirement income plans for clients, it's important to help them recognize and consider their future health care needs and the impact their choices and expectations will have on their plans.
