Long Term Care Insurance
After working hard to build a strong financial future, what steps have you taken to guard your wealth against the cost of long term care? Will your spouse be left impoverished after paying for your long term care costs? What about your family and the care giving they may need to give with little or no respite? Unless you have a policy that provides for paid, professional care, even the most good-hearted children may find it difficult to manage long-term assistance to the degree most disabled parents require – leaving families to make very difficult and often-times unpleasant choices.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 70% of people reaching age 65 can expect to use some form of Long Term Care during their lives.¹ When taking this statistic into consideration, the rising cost of care nationwide, and the detriment of being without coverage, LTC insurance can be an essential part of protection built into your financial plan.
