Pamela,
Good news. Your long-term care (LTC) insurance quotes are ready.
š First-look quotes
To start, Iāve provided quotes from three different policies with increasing costs. Each one includes 3% annual growth to help your benefits keep pace with rising LTC costs. When you need benefits, coverage has monthly and total maximums. Coverage stays in place forever, even after youāre paid up.
š§ My notes
Since you didnāt indicate a preference for memory care coverage or a refund feature, Iāve shown a balanced set of options.
- Base: A simple, no-refund option with annual payments until care is needed. Itās your most budget-friendly policy.
- 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: Gives you the refund and stretches your benefits to last longer. Itās designed to keep paying even if you need care for many yearsālike in Alzheimerās. I can also show you a policy with lifetime benefits if you'd like.
If you want higher or lower annual benefits, I can change any premium. The benefits and premium go up or down together.
š Graph of benefits
This graph shows your projected benefits and LTC costs in Florida if you needed care at age 80, but benefits can start at any time. For more detail, click any line.
Long-term care costs
Assisted-living in Florida is projected to cost $129,000/year by age 80 (assuming 4% annual growth) and Minnesota at $141,000/year. 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.
šš» Next steps
Once you've reviewed your options, just reply to my email or text with the one that feels closestā"Base", "Plus", or "Cadillac"āand any comments you'd like to add. Iāll then fine-tune your quotes with more specifics to match your budget, with zero commitment.
