Long Term Care is expensive and its costs are rising
Without long term care insurance your wealth can dissipate very quickly because most health insurance plans do not cover long term care and Medicare does not cover custodial care. Yet it becomes increasingly difficult and more expensive to obtain as you get older. Consider your quality of life. Even if you qualify for Medicaid many of the top facilities do not accept Medicaid.
John Darer's Family Story is Compelling Proof That
Long Term Care Insurance Works
John Darer had a frank but loving discussion with his parents about long term care insurance in August 1999, the result of which was that he wrote and paid for the long term care coverage together with a sibling, for more than 12 years. In 2004, John's father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. By March 2011, his father's condition had progressed and he entered Assisted Living at the award winning Waveny Village in New Canaan Connecticut.
The initial cost of Assisted Living at Waveny Village was $297 per day. Good planning, following a a family discussion 12 years earlier, enabled the Darer family to fund the cost of long term care at one of the best assisted living facilities in the United States with minimal asset erosion. The long tern care policy paid out almost 6 times the aggregate premiums paid (from August 1999 through March 2011) in benefits from March 2011 until his father's death in November 2013.
Summary of Major Benefits of Long Term Care Insurance
The long term care insurance meant that the family
(1) had choices;
(2) did not have to compromise on the quality of the assisted living facility and
(3) could focus on the supervision of care instead of having to provide the care and self pay at full price.
