The potential for someone needing long term care in their lifetime is real
As life expectancy continues to increase, so does the potential for needing long term care in the event of an extended illness or accident.
75%
A healthy 65-year-old couple has a 75% chance that one partner will require a significant level of long term care (LTC) if they each live to their projected actuarial life expectancies, according to a new HealthView Services report.
02.
Traditional health insurance may not help pay
Unfortunately, traditional health insurance might not necessarily help pay for long term care. Health insurance pays for medical expenses, doctors’ services and hospital stays. In most cases, it won’t cover the costs of a home health aide or assisted therapy.
03.
What about Medicare or Medicaid?
Although Medicare and Medicaid might cover some costs, these programs are not without restrictions and limitations.
Based on your personal experiences and family history forming a long term care plan — whether it be through private long term care insurance (LTCI), LTCI provided by an employer, or by setting aside assets to pay for future events — is something that could be a wise addition to your financial strategy. Consider making it a priority to get educated and to explore your options.
By making a plan to prepare for the unexpected need for care, you can remain more independent. You choose where you receive treatment and have confidence that your family’s financial well being is being protected* against the high cost of a potential long term care event.
*Product guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer.

Everyone should consider a long term care strategy
Not everyone will need long term care insurance, but everyone should understand the effect long term care could have on their family and their retirement strategy.
Most families find a way to provide care for their loved ones. However, unless you’ve gone through it, you may not understand the physical, emotional, and financial tolls providing care can take.
By making a plan to prepare for the unexpected need for care, you can remain more independent.
