Larry,
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
Since you didn’t indicate a preference for memory care coverage or a refund feature, I’ve shown a balanced set of options.
- Base: A simple, no-refund option with annual payments until care is needed. It’s your most budget-friendly policy.
- Plus: Offers a longer 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 for your lifetime. It’s designed to keep paying even if you need care for many years—like in 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 LTC costs in Maryland 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 Maryland is projected to cost $153,000/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.
👉🏻 Next steps
Once you've reviewed your options, just reply to my email or text 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.
