Long-Term Care Awareness Month: A great time to seek advice and plan The month of November has been declared Long-Term Care Awareness Month by the American Association of Long-Term Care Insurance. Traditional health insurance isn’t designed to cover long-term care and most Americans may need longterm care at some point in their lives. Generally, Medicare wasn’t designed to adequately cover long-term care costs. Since many Americans do not yet own long-term care insurance, the burden of care giving often falls upon unpaid family caregivers. Although all long-term care needs, by definition, last more Grant Miller than 90 days, many people need help for much longer, sometimes for years. This can be a significant physical, financial and emotional burden for family caregivers. While most people don’t like to think of this aspect of retirement planning, it is just as important as drafting a will or saving for retirement. It becomes protection for your family’s nest egg.
Consider these facts:
• Long-term care insurance is the only type of insurance primarily designed to pay for long-term care. • Comprehensive policies from leading insurers can be affordable. The federal government and many states offer tax incentives to make the insurance even more attractive. (Speak with your tax advisor.)
The federal government and many states offer tax incentives to make the long-term care insurance more attractive. • Time is the enemy when it comes to long-term care planning, because every year that someone delays the purchase of long-term care insurance, the premium generally increases. • A change in health can make it impossible to qualify for long-term care insurance. Dealing with the consequences of a long-term care situation can have devastating effects on you, the lives of loved ones and businesses for which you work or own. Perhaps you should schedule a meeting with an agent who specializes in long-term care insurance to see what makes the most sense for you.
