Financial Considerations Related to Long Term Care

  • How will my assets change over the next 10-20 years? Stay the same, increase, decrease?
  • Do I expect my income to change over the next 10-20 years?
  • Will I change from regular employment to a fixed or retirement income? How will that affect my ability to pay the premiums?
  • Can I afford any premium increases?
  • Can I afford to pay the expenses during the elimination period?
  • Will I pay each year's premium from my income, savings or investments? Will my family pay premiums?
  • Do I feel that my assets and income are large enough that I need to protect them with a long term care insurance policy?
