Top 10 Benefits of Owning Long Term Care Insurance (LTCI) Today...

EVEN IF YOU NEVER USE IT!


When you own LTCI, you will:

  1. have the comfort of knowing you and/or your spouse will never be a burden on family and friends.
  2. never worry about impoverishing your spouse should you require long term care.
  3. have the pleasure of knowing you will be free to really enjoy your retirement because your retirement assets are protected. You will never have to “wall-off” assets “just in case.”
  4. have the joy of knowing you will never put your children in a position of having to choose between the high cost of long term care for one parent and protecting the assets of the healthy parent.
  5. know you will be in the “private pay” category, entitling you to your choice of private pay care should you need it.
  6. be confident you will not ruin your spouse’s health by making them your primary care giver*
  7. substantially increase your ability to stay at home, surrounded by loved ones and friends.
  8. rest assured that all your current hard work, planning, investing and saving will not be obliterated.
  9. know your children will never have to choose between your care and their inheritance (which often includes the education of your grandchildren).
  10. never be forced to get rid of your beloved pet; they will always be with you – right at your side.
