It's About What You Need, When You Need It
One of the biggest risks to your savings can be a long-term care event. If you or a loved one should require Long-Term Care (LTC), it can deplete your assets rather quickly if you haven’t planned accordingly. LTC expenses can range from approximately $20,000 to $108,000 depending on the type of care you need.
Planning ahead with Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance can help alleviate the cost associated with care by covering a wide range of services, allowing you to choose the type and quality of care that’s right for you.
