Are you actively looking for health insurance for senior citizen parents? May it be for yourself or your parents, you’re in the right place. 🙂
After reading this whole post, make sure to connect right away with a Financial Advisor to get started. The fact that you’re here means it’s actually the right & best time for you to get health insurance for your senior citizen parents because the more you delay it, the less chance of getting them insured, and the more cost of premium you can incur.
Let’s get started!
How can I get health insurance for senior citizen parents?
You can actually get health insurance for senior citizen parents thru our SUN Senior Care plan.
SUN Senior Care plan is a life & health insurance plan that you can avail from Sun Life. It caters the needs of individuals whose age is from 50 to 70 years old. This plan offers a limited-pay whole life critical illness (CI) plan that offers a combined benefit of savings and comprehensive health protection even at a late stage in life, providing coverage during one’s golden years up until age 100.
Normally, individuals can apply for life & health insurance plans until age 60 only. That’s why it’s really hard for individuals age 61 and above to get insured already. Sometimes, if they find a plan that can insure them, they find the benefits very limited. Been there, done that.
But if we’re talking about comprehensive health insurance for senior citizen parents, then SUN Senior Care is a really good deal.

Final Thoughts on Getting a Health Insurance for Senior Citizen Parents
I, myself, have done my research and compared SUN Senior Care plan to other health insurance plans I’ve found on the internet. The reason is, I also want my father to get insured who is going to be 56 years old as of this writing.
Some plans I’ve found can really be affordable during the first few years, but if you actually compute the total premiums you will be paying, it’s still pricier compared to the SUN Senior Care plan.
While they are pricier than the SUN Senior Care plan, those plans also offer very limited critical illness benefit.
This is the reason why I prefer the SUN Senior Care plan as the life & health insurance coverage for my father. We were able to get a plan for him with 450K coverage for less than Php 36,000 per year only.
So before the premium gets pricier for you, and while your parents are still healthy with no medical history as much as possible, I suggest you get this plan already for your own peace of mind.
The peace of mind you’ll get from acquiring health insurance for senior citizen parents can actually be the best gift you could ever give to yourself, and of course to your parents also.
