How Much Long Term Care Insurance Is Necessary?
0 POINTSContact Meview profileDavid RacichPROFountain Hills, ArizonaLong term care insurance (LTCi) is part of retirement planning. The total medical cost during retirement is $250,000. Some of that expense could be LTCi assisted living or nursing home care. If you have discretionary dollars, it is recommended to purchase an LTCi policy to the maximum allowable benefits before age 65. A nonsmoking male and female in good health purchasing a combined LTC policy will pay around $300 a month.Answered on June 7, 2013+01+1 this answer

However, there are lots of statistics you can go by. Many of the stats, along with the average amount of coverage that many people buy, point to a "pool of money" somewhere in the $200,000 range. There are lots of ways to "tweak" a Long Term Care policy, so many questions will get answered when you're actually working with your agent to build your policy.Answered on June 7, 2013flag this answer
