Suzanne is a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) and long-term care specialist licensed in Texas to offer various financial products tailored to the needs of her clients.

Suzanne’s motivation to service her clients and address their need for long-term care planning comes for personal experience. Her father suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and was in Alzheimer’s Special Care Units in Dallas for 7 years. The cost of his care from beginning to the end was approximately $500,000.

Suzanne is a firm believer that long-term care planning provides appropriate alternatives and affordable solutions that enable people to maintain independence, protect assets and prevent them from becoming a burden to others, especially their family members.

Suzanne Hopkins, CSA

She knows firsthand the financial and emotional burden incurred with long-term care and believes the costs of long-term care planning are basically two-fold: protecting a person’s dignity and independence while ensuring their assets and legacy are protected.

Long-term care and how to plan for it is a multi-generational issue, a work-place issue and a public policy issue. Through one-on-one presentations and group meetings, Suzanne educates people about how these issues can impact parents, children, grandchildren, employers and the workplace.

A native of Coral Gables, Florida, Suzanne received her education at Eastfield College and L.S.U.-Baton Rouge. Suzanne is a member of the National Association for Insurance and Financial Advisors (N.A.I.F.A.) and the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI). She has been very active in neighborhood associations and chambers groups.

Suzanne and her husband Bud (and their English Springer Spaniel - Lillie) live in Plano Texas near their two grown children and five grandchildren.
