Carrie,
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 monthly 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
Based on your feedback of 'Yes' to longer coverage for memory-care and 'Yes' to a refund, I’ve shown the following options.
- Base: A simple, no-refund option with a short benefit length and lifetime payments. It’s your most budget-friendly policy included for comparison.
- 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: I consider this the gold-standard in coverage because it offers lifetime benefits plus a refund, ensuring protection even for extended needs like Alzheimer's.
📈 Graph of benefits
This graph shows your projected benefits and long-term care costs in Georgia when you turn 80, though benefits can begin sooner if care is needed. For more detail, click any line.
Long-term care costs
Assisted-living in Georgia is projected to cost $178,000/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. The goal for most people is meaningful coverage, not paying every dollar.
If you’d like higher or lower benefits, we can adjust your premium, benefit length, or payment schedule. Just let me know your goals.
👉🏻 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.
