The lessons Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Amy Grant learned caring for her mother and now her aging father are the focus of a new television public service announcement (PSA) for the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

In 2011, Grant moved her mother into her home to surround her with family during her final days battling dementia. Today, Grant and her sisters are caring for their dad as he suffers from the same debilitating disease, according to statement from NAIC.

These experiences prompted Grant to partner with the NAIC to help consumers get smart about insurance so they can have peace of mind while navigating life's inevitable twists.

"The NAIC and your state insurance commissioner can help you make sense of the most complicated insurance situations," says Jim Donelon, NAIC President and Louisiana Insurance Commissioner, in a statement. "Whether you're caring for elderly parents, planning your own retirement, or sending kids off to college, the NAIC is here to help you understand the options so you can choose the coverage that meets your needs."

Filmed at Grant's home in Tennessee, the TV spot features the singer's reflections on how making tough family choices, including insurance decisions, are more bearable when you're prepared and have the resources you need to make informed choices. The NAIC helps consumers evaluate their insurance options and connects them to their state insurance department for additional information.
