Long-term care insurance is designed to help cover the costs of long-term care for an individual. You, along with your family and physician, can determine where it is best to receive that care.

Determining if you need long-term care insurance will depend on the following.

  • Your age.
  • Your overall retirement goals.
  • Your income and assets.

It is difficult to know if, when and how long you will need long-term care.

You should consider long-term care insurance for the following reasons.

  • To help protect assets and income.
  • To help stay independent of financial support from others.
  • To help maintain options in selecting types and place of care.
  • To help feel secure that if you need long-term care you are covered.

It is a good idea to consider long-term care insurance during pre-retirement planning. Like life insurance, you are likely to qualify for a better premium when you are younger and in better health.
