The number one risk in financial retirement in retirement is human longevity, which increase the odds of needing long term care insurance. If your family has a disposition to disease or nursing home confinement, you may want to consider securing long term care while you're young and healthy.Answered on August 3, 2013flag this answer.JPG)

Without long term care insurance, the individual and their family are left to foot tremendous bills, if such care is needed. If assets run out and Medicaid is used, the choices for care are limited. Having long term care that will allow someone to spend the benefit as they wish protects assets and allows some independence even at a time of loss.Answered on August 3, 2013flag this answer
