Amir,
Good news. Your long-term care (LTC) insurance quotes are ready.
👀 First-look quotes
To start, I’ve provided quotes from three policies with increasing annual costs. Each one includes 3% annual growth to help your benefits keep pace with rising LTC costs. Coverage starts immediately and remains active for life. Once care begins, benefits last for a set number of years. All policies pay for home care, assisted living, memory care, nursing care, and more.
🧐 My notes
Based on your feedback of 'No' to longer coverage for memory-care and 'Yes' to a refund, I’ve shown the following options.
- Base: A simple, no-refund option with a short benefit length and lifetime payments. It’s your most budget-friendly policy included for comparison.
- Plus: Offers the same benefit length, includes a refund of your premiums to your family if you never need care, and is paid off over 10 years.
- Cadillac: You didn’t request this one, but I included it for comparison. It provides longer-lasting benefits, ideal for extended care needs like Alzheimer’s.
If you want higher or lower annual benefits, I can change any premium. The benefits and premium go up or down together.
📈 Graph of benefits
This graph shows your projected benefits and estimated care costs in Massachusetts at age 80. Benefits can begin whenever care is needed, even before all premiums have been paid. For more detail, click any line.
Long-term care costs
Assisted-living in Massachusetts is projected to cost $464,000/year by age 80 (assuming 4% annual growth). But your policy doesn't have to cover everything. Assisted-living already includes housing and meals, and any steady income, like Social Security, can bridge the gap that your policy doesn't cover. The goal for most people is meaningful coverage, not paying every dollar.
👉🏻 Next steps
Once you've reviewed your options, just reply to my email with the one that feels closest—"Base", "Plus", or "Cadillac"—and any comments you'd like to add. I’ll then fine-tune your quotes with more specifics to match your budget, with zero commitment.
