Long Term Care Planning - Policy Solver

Protect Your Savings With Long Term Care Planning

Even though it may be hard to believe, 70% of us will need help with long term care later in life, and it will be expensive. We can help you get a long term care insurance policy to cover these costs, and help preserve your savings.

What Is Long Term Care

When you or a loved one may be unable to care for any of the following fundamental Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), long-term care is needed.

Any of these can occur at any point in one’s life, but are typical as people age.

Who Needs Long Term Care Planning

Planning ahead, which includes speaking with your family (and/or friends), will help ensure you or a loved one receives the appropriate care.

A loved one can assist with the daily living activities of certain people through long-term care services. This may require the family member to move in with them permanently or for an extended period while the ADL problem is being addressed. It may force that person to quit their job or take time off work, jeopardizing not just the family’s financial stability but also the individual’s.

It is also possible for other people to seek the services of a long-term care provider. It could be a long-term care facility that they move into to get the care they need or a long-term care worker who comes into their home to help during certain hours of the day or night.

Regardless of how, where, and what type of care services are provided, if the services are rendered by anyone other than a family member, the long-term care costs will typically be very expensive.

While some individuals will be able to self-fund their care by drawing from their own savings, doing so will likely leave them with no assets to pass on to loved ones, prevent them from enjoying retirement, and leave them vulnerable to having to borrow money to pay for their care if they run out of money.

By protecting their financial resources and relieving the strain on their loved ones, many individuals find peace of mind in acquiring a long-term care insurance policy to cover their anticipated long-term care needs in the future.

That’s why it’s crucial that you get in touch with an experienced long-term care expert who can evaluate your needs and get you the most competitive rates for long-term care insurance. That is who we are and what we do.

Financing long term care When you don't have insurance

People often fail to consider the need for long-term care financial planning until it is too late and their assets have been exhausted by the ever-increasing costs of care. These costs have skyrocketed in recent years, making it essential to work with a financial advisor to put aside money for many years in order to finance them at the same rate as general price hikes.

These costs may be covered by a variety of insurance policies and financial products, including:

Long-term care insurance
Reverse mortgage funds
Retirement plan with long-term care provisions
Government Health Insurance Program: Medicaid

Medicaid is an alternative government resource if you don’t have the financial resources to pay for private insurance. To qualify for Medicaid, you must spend below a certain amount, or seek legal advice for ways to preserve your assets before you need medical care.
