Long-term care insurance puts you in control. It goes far beyond covering costs in a nursing facility, as many people assume.
I think we can all agree with the COVID-19 pandemic; more people are opting to have in-home aides rather than sending their loved ones to nursing homes.
There is always an option for you.
Here are the four most common Long-Term Care plan options.
1. Traditional LTC insurance works similarly to health insurance. This kind of coverage is intended to ensure your assets aren’t affected by the cost of receiving long-term care required. This also includes home-based care.
2. Hybrid Life Insurance LTC is an increasingly popular option that combines the traditional death benefit of life insurance with LTC benefits. This option ensures that your assets aren’t affected by the cost of long-term care, including home-based care while maintaining maximum flexibility.
3. Self-Insurance/Moneyguard is typically the best choice for people with significant health issues. You put aside a certain amount of liquid funds, say $100,000. The money accrues compounding interest year after year and will roughly triple in value after about fifteen years. The money in this account can be withdrawn tax-free for LTC expenses, based on the account’s value at the time. Whatever money is not withdrawn for LTC remains there as a death benefit to your children
4. Life Insurance LTC Rider is suitable for maximizing the death benefit while retaining the flexibility to address LTC’s costs.
