Long Term Care Insurance-Why it's Important to You and Your Family
Long term care planning is a hot topic. With the aging baby boomers and exploding health care costs, this topic is cause for concern for everyone.
Planning for long term care does NOT mean planning for nursing home care. It means having a plan in place in the event that you require assistance with your day to day routines such as getting in and out of a bed or chair or help with bathing or dressing. This need for assistance can be due to an accident or injury, a chronic disease, or simply aging. The plan addresses where you would prefer to receive care, how involved you want your family to be, and how the care will be financed. When help is needed, it creates a great deal of stress for the family and friends who must now either become caregivers themselves or divert the income and assets planned for retirement to pay for care. Regardless of the situation, the family's lifestyle will be affected.
