Long TErm Care Insurance

Long-term care insurance provides a safety net for when you are no longer able to care for yourself.

Long term care insurance policy covers the cost of care, (administered by therapists and medical professionals), that individuals with debilitating illnesses, injuries, or cognitive disabilities require to function.

LTC insurance is designed to help cover the expenses associated with the need for long-term care. This includes personal and custodial care in a variety of settings, such as your home, adult care facilities, assisted daily living, nursing facilities, or hospice. The range of options we offer allow our clients to get the services they need at a cost that fits their budget. Medicare will only cover up to 100 days of long-term care costs.

LTC FAQS:

That depends on multiple factors, including your budget, where you live, and the level of care you anticipate you’ll need. 

Consider the following:

  • The cost of LTC in your planned retirement area
  • Whether you need the plan to cover the full costs of your LTC, or are you able to pay for a percentage from your retirement income and/or current assets
  • If debilitating, long-term illnesses such as dementia occur often in your family
  • The number of your family members that required LTC
  • Which of your assets you want to be able to pass down to your family members spouse, partner, or heirs
  • Whether your family members will be able to provide for some/all of your LTC needs

Although you only claim your insurance benefits once you reach your later years, it’s detrimental to wait until you are older to purchase a policy. Doing so can cost you a lot more money in premiums than if you had purchased the policy in your younger years – the optimal time is between 40-50. The reason for this is because companies base their premium rates on your age and level of health, with the amount increasing as your age rises and your health decreases. Additionally, there is a possibility that if you wait too long and develop a condition that may require long-term care, you could become uninsurable.
