Deciding On Long-Term Care Insurance

If a time comes when you are no longer able to care for yourself or live on your own, long-term care insurance (LTCI) can cover an array of needs. Consider the escalating costs of care: Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey reveals that in the United States, a private room in a nursing home costs an average of $8,121 a month.

Purchasing an LTCI policy can offer protection for you and your loved ones and give you peace of mind as you age.

Consider these peace-of-mind benefits:

  • It protects your savings and other assets and maintains a person’s independence and dignity.
  • Professional care is affordable.
  • Family and friends don’t have to carry the burden of care.
  • Choice of where care is received (for example, a nursing home, assisted living community or at home).
  • More versatile services, such as visiting nurses and home health aides; home-delivered meals and chore services; and time in adult daycare centers and respite services for caregivers.
