LTC 101: Understand the Long Term Care Challenge

63 million people in the United States are providing unpaid care for a loved one.

Icon1-1

COST

The national average cost for an in-home health aide is $6,292 a month.

Funding

Medicare, health insurance, or disability insurance do not cover LTC expenses.

Why do you need long term care insurance?

Long term care (LTC) may become necessary following a traumatic event, such as an automobile accident, or due to a serious illness or cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer's disease. In these situations, individuals may require ongoing assistance with ADLs to maintain their quality of life and independence to the greatest extent possible.

How does it work?

Life with a long term care benefit is a two-in-one benefit that offers guaranteed issue life insurance for family needs plus long term care benefits.

As a employee, this offer of a Long Term Care (LTC) + Life Insurance benefit can help you protect your future.

Here are examples of how this coverage can provide a monthly long term care benefit of $4,000/month with these care costs reflecting the national median.

Also, don't forget to factor in the future cost of care average increase of 4% or more annually, which is why we encourage those who can afford it to purchase as much coverage as they can comfortably afford.
