Suzanne,
Good news. Your long-term care (LTC) insurance quotes are ready.
Why people choose LTC insurance:
- Your family may not be able to become caregivers
- Stay in control — at home or your preferred facility
- Your savings deserve protection from care costs
🔧 How LTC insurance works
It's a little different from your home or auto insurance.
- Pick your price for how much coverage you want.
- Coverage stays in place forever, even after you’re paid up.
- When you need benefits, coverage has monthly and total maximums.
- Benefits grow to keep up with future care costs.
👀 First-look quotes
To start, I’ve provided quotes from three different policies with increasing costs.
📈 Graph of benefits
This graph shows how your projected benefits and LTC costs in South Dakota if you needed care at age 80, but benefits can start at any time. For more detail, click a policy name—like Base—or any line.
LTC costs in South Dakota
Assisted-living in South Dakota is projected to cost $87,000/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.
🧐 My notes
Based on your feedback of No to longer coverage for memory-care and No to a refund, I’ve shown the following options.
- Base: A simple, no-refund option. Every dollar you pay goes toward care, so your yearly benefit check is large.
- Plus: A similar policy without the refund, shown for easy comparison.
- Cadillac: You didn’t request this one, but I've included it for comparison. It includes a refund if no care is needed and offers longer-lasting benefits—designed for extended care like Alzheimer’s.
👉🏻 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.
