What You Should Know About Long-Term Care ...

If you’ve planned for your family’s sound financial future without thinking about Long-Term Care, you might want to think again.

 

Medicare, TRICARE, and other health insurance plans don’t pay for “custodial” care (help with dressing, bathing, eating, etc.), which is the type of long term care most people need.

 

The truth is that more than half of us will find ourselves in need of it at some point1 ... 

  • At 65 or older, 70% of us will need some type of ongoing long-term care services during our lifetime2
  • 13% of us will need long-term care for more than 5 years1

 

So who pays for long-term care?

 

If your planning does not include long-term care insurance, it may well end up being you. According to a recent study, the national average cost for a nursing home stay exceeds $80,000 per year2.

 

That could mean selling off assets, using up money you intended to leave your children, or even draining a lifetime of personal savings.

 

The bottom line -- while quality long-term care isn’t cheap, sooner or later it will likely be a necessity for most of us. 

 

That’s why your MOAA Membership includes access to first-rate protection through the MOAA-endorsed Long Term Care Insurance Program, LTCRplus
