Benefits

The high cost of long-term care is a serious threat to the financial security of millions of Americans. Long-term care is the type of care you would require if you needed help with basic activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing or eating. Nursing home costs are rising at 4.6% per year and assisted living is rising at 5.2%.

The average annual cost of a nursing home stay today can be $74,825 ($205/day) for a semi-private room and $83,585 ($229/day) for a private room.
The average annual cost of assisted living is $39,576 ($3,298/month) and can be as high as $78,000 ($6,500/month) and continues to rise.
Home health care is $19 to $20 per hour, averaging $67 per day. Home health care helps with IADL* as well as ADL*.

The ability to be independent is priceless. Health is everything. Buy long-term care insurance while you are healthy.
