What is Long Term Care Insurance?
Long Term Care Insurance provides benefits to help pay for prolonged healthcare costs incurred in the home, community, or in Assisted Living or Nursing facilities. This insurance should be purchased by anyone who wants to protect their assets and remain independent in the event that a serious illness or accident leaves them incapacitated. The key is to buy this coverage at younger ages to lock in the lower age rates while you are in good health. Not only are the significant preferred health discounts, but you can't afford to risk having an application turned down at older ages due to complicated health history or ongoing chronic issues.
Quick Facts:
- Did you realize that nearly 50% of all Long Term Care is accessed by those under age 65? Are you and your assets prepared in the event of a car accident or stroke to bring care to your own how without the assistance of your health plan beyond a finite period of days?
- The average length of stay in a Nursing Home is only 2.4 years, however, the average length of an Alzheimer's situation is now over 8 years.
- The average cost of a care per year in a skilled Nursing Home nationally is now approximately $70,000…this is after tax money so we are talking close to $100,000/year to pay for care in 2010. Imagine what it will cost in 2020 or 2030?
