Long-term care insurance is a term you should know. Here’s what it is.
Long-term care insurance is a plan that helps pay for services to assist you with everyday activities such as eating, dressing, bathing or getting in and out of bed. You select the coverage you would like to receive when you purchase the policy.
The median annual cost of long-term care insurance ranges from $44,000 to $91,250, depending on the level of care needed. Given that the average stay in a nursing home is 892 days, or 2.44 years, the cost can easily surpass $200,000.
The younger and healthier you are at the time of application, the more likely you are to qualify for long-term care insurance. Those in poor health or who are already receiving long-term care services are unlikely to get through the underwriting process, or in some cases, will be quoted a “non-standard” rate.
The best time to apply is in your mid-50s, provided you are healthy. Your health almost never improves once you reach your 50s. Even if you diet, exercise and inherit great genes, most people in their 50s face at least one or two health challenges.
A few things to keep in mind:
Rates for long-term care vary by state and premiums can go up at any time without warning. The cost of a long-term care policy in mid-2016 for a Maryland couple in their 50s was around $3,100 annually.

How much you will pay for long-term care insurance is based on:
The average U.S. citizen turning 65 has a 70 percent chance of needing long-term care at some point in their life.
