Long-Term Care
Planning for a Long-Term Care event is an often overlooked aspect of retirement planning. People tend to underestimate the cost of care and the likelihood of needing care, yet statistics show that there is a greater than 50% chance that you'll need some form of Long-Term Care.
The Need For Care
Statistics show that there is a greater than 50% chance that you'll need some form of long-term care in the future. If you have not planned for this, then this burden will likely fall on your loved ones.
The Risk of Self-Insuring
You might be fortunate enough to be able to self-fund any long-term care need. Yet, we typically underestimate the actual cost of care when the time comes. If you want to leave a legacy behind, long-term care costs can eat up some or all of your savings. With the Pension Protection Act of 2006, many long-term care solutions today offer not only protection of your legacy but also significant tax-free leverage for the assets you set aside to cover this need.

Short-Term Home or Facility Coverage
While not considered actual long-term care coverage, these policies are becoming increasingly popular due to the lower cost. This type of plan will cover a short time in a nursing home (usually 12 months) and also a short time for care at home (also usually 12 months). These are a great affordable alternative to having nothing at all.
