Long-Term Care Insurance

What is Long-Term Care Insurance? 

Long-term care coverage pays for assistance with the day-to-day tasks when you are no longer able to do them yourself. When daily tasks like eating, bathing, toileting, getting dressed and more become too much and you require assistance, long-term care insurance helps to cover the expense of assistance. Assistance may be in the form of home health assistance, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing and/or hospice facilities.

Who Benefits from Long-Term Care Coverage?

Research suggests that if you celebrate your 65th birthday, you are likely to need long-term care at some point in your life. When you plan ahead, you can ensure you receive the help you need quickly, without fear of draining your nest egg or dipping into inheritance. Your family can support you without having to worry about how to finance your care.

Why Plan for Long-Term Care 

Long-term care insurance must be purchased before you need it. When you purchase coverage while you're young, your premiums will likely be lower than if you wait. If you wait and medical issues arise, you may become uninsurable and need to liquidate your personal assets to cover your care needs or rely on government programs.
