LONG TERM CARE INCURANCE

What is Long Term Care Insurance?

Long Term Care Insurance is critical in your planning if you want to protect your assets from being depleted due to long term health care cost. If you don’t personally know someone to whom this happened, chances are you’ve heard the stories; people whose health deteriorated or their age made them less capable of caring for themselves, who spent the bulk of their life savings or even went into great debt to get the long term care they needed.

With the vast majority of health insurance plans available today, a great deal of the treatments and care that a person in such a situation would require aren’t covered. That’s why it’s crucial that if you know or foresee you will need more extensive care in the future, you seek out long term care insurance.

To date, there’s a handful of companies providing such coverage and going through long term care insurance reviews for every single one of these would mean doing countless hours of research.

Long Term Care Costs Case Studies

Linda was a widow and had one child. She and her late husband had saved and invested all their lives. Together they had accumulated over $1,600,000 in assets. Linda was always under the impression that her accumulated assets were more than enough to pay for her long term needs. Linda never realized how fast and how much long term care could add up.

Linda always wanted to leave her daughter as much of her wealth as she could. However that is not how it turned out.

Linda had never purchased a long term care policy and her health took a turn for the worst. Linda’s health issues put her in need of full time care and with her daughter living two states away and working full time it was impossible for her to give her mother the care she needed.

After 5 years in a nursing home Linda had drained the entire nest egg that she wanted to leave behind for her daughter. She was forced in a Medicaid facility because she was out of money.

Solution – Linda could have insured against this if she would have just had a plan in place. Linda could have bought a long term care policy that could have protected her nest egg for pennies on the dollar. She could have bought a 10 pay long term care policy that would have cost less than 2% of her entire wealth. She would have been able to stay in the nursing home of her choice and pass on the wealth her and her husband worked so hard for.
