It might be hard to imagine now, but chances are you’ll need some help taking care of yourself later in life whether you stay in your home, a nursing home, an assisted living facility, or an adult day care center. The big question is: How will you pay for it?
Buying Long-term Care Insurance is one way to prepare. Long-term care refers to a variety of services that aren’t covered by regular health insurance or by Medicare. This includes assistance with “activities of daily living” such as: bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, or getting in and out of bed
A Long-term care insurance policy helps cover the costs of that care when you have a chronic medical condition, a disability or a disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease, and it is an important part of any long-range financial plan. The majority of people with long-term care insurance buy it in their mid-50s to mis-60s Waiting until you need care to buy coverage isn’t an option. You won’t qualify for long-term care insurance if you already have a debilitating condition, and long-term care insurance carriers won’t approve most applicants over the age of 75.
