​​"Bill Comfort is a recognized professional in the field of long-term care insurance not just because of his sales expertise, but more importantly because of his focus on how it should be used: not as product that simply protects the insured, but to protect those he or she loves by funding a plan to mitigate the consequences of providing care.  By these principles he serves his clients and improves his profession by teaching other advisors why LTC planning is a vital component of every retirement plan.
 
"Bill has, for many years, also created partnerships with care providers who often experience the frustrations of trying to get a policy to cover the cost of care.
 
"LTCCP® gives care providers and their companies the critical tools they need to quickly navigate the process. With this training, any professional in the fields of home care or residential care raises his or her value to their clients and families by making a commitment to help them receive the compensation they invested so much money in over the years."
