Traci,
Good news. Your revised long-term care (LTC) insurance quotes are ready.
š Revised quotes
Iāve provided three quotes similar to your original Plus selection (currently Choice B), each with a $10k/year premium for 10 years. Since Securian doesnāt offer a 3-year benefit period, I used 4 years. All include 3% annual growth to help your benefits keep pace with rising long-term care costs.
š§ My notes
All three options are strong and each includes a refund to your spouse, kids, or heirs that exceeds the total premiums paid if you never need care. You can read reviews of Lincoln MoneyGuard, Nationwide CareMatters, and Securian SecureCare.
Assisted-living in Ohio is projected to cost $150,000/year by age 80 (assuming 4% annual growth). Your options provide lower annual benefits than this projection, but you can bridge the gap using personal savings and Social Security. If you'd like higher annual benefits, you can increase your premiumāyour benefits will rise proportionally (e.g., by 25%).
Personally, Iād lean toward Choice C. Securian SecureCare offers 4 years of coverage with much higher maximum benefits, while annual benefits and the refund are only slightly lower. With the average length of long-term care for women at 3.7 years, this policy would cover a typical need.
šš» Next steps
Once you've reviewed your options, just reply to my email with the one that feels closestāA, B, or C and I'll email the policy documents to you (no commitment).
