LTCi Quotes For Jennifer B and Lisa M

On this page

Jennifer and Lisa,

I'm pleased to offer three customized long-term care insurance (LTCi) quotes that provide meaningful coverage.

Comparison table

🧐 Quote jargon

  • You pay: Once all payments are made, your benefits stay available anytime in your lifetime. Increase or decrease your payments, and benefits adjust by the same percentage.
  • Benefit growth: Your benefits grow each year at this rate to help keep up with rising LTC costs
  • Benefit years: Once you qualify, benefits can begin right away and last up to this number of years
  • Annual benefits: The max amount you can receive each year; the chart shows benefits at age 80 as an example
  • Total benefits: The full amount available if you need care every year for the full benefit period
  • Life insurance: Paid to your heirs if you never need LTC
  • Payout method: Cash lets you use funds however you choose; reimbursement requires receipts
  • Pay options: Shorter payment schedules give you more benefits (but cost more per year)

Graph of benefits

This graph shows how your benefits would compare to expected LTC costs in your state if you needed care at age 80. Click any policy name or line for more detail.

My notes

All three policies offer very similar benefits. Nationwide offers a few perks not offered by Securian (we can discuss these), so a tie would go to Nationwide. 😀

I chose these policies based on your preferences.

Memory care: unsure
Alzheimer’s care often stretches beyond 8 years—well over the typical 3-year average. That’s why I picked policies with middle-of-the-road benefit periods.

Refund: unsure
Some policies include a life insurance refund if you don’t need long-term care, so your heirs receive most or all of the money back you spent as an inheritance. I picked a mix of policies with and without life insurance.

Smaller payments: unsure
Smaller payments over many years are easier on the budget but cost more in the long run. So I chose two 5-year payment periods and one lifetime to give you a rough sense of the differences. All plans offer 10-year payment schedules as other pay options (e.g., $20k/year paid for 10 years).

LTC costs in Florida
The graph shows your benefits are below your projected long-term care costs—but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to pay the difference out of pocket. Assisted living often includes housing and meals, which may replace expenses you’d otherwise be paying for housing or food. Other income, like social security, or assets can help bridge the gap.
