Long Term Care Insurance, also known as \u201cLTCI\u201d is an important financial topic to be knowledgeable about. LTCi provides coverage for people who need help with their activities of daily living for an extended time. This can be due to chronic illness, various disabilities or other conditions.<\/p>\n

One of the scariest statistics that showcases why LTC is important is the cost of care. Home healthcare or nursing homes can be very expensive. On average,\u00a0nursing home care (with a private room) costs an individual $92,376 each and every single year1<\/sup>. Does your retirement plan account for this large number? And twice that amount for a married couple?<\/p>\n

Consider that you must exhaust all of your financial means before Medicaid will pay for long-term care. And neither your group insurance nor major medical insurance will cover long-term care expenses. This is why there are many examples of family\u2019s finances being devastated by the unplanned costs of long term care expenses.<\/p>\n
