Life insurance and long term care coverage

Two questions most families put off: what happens to the people who depend on you, and who pays if you need care later in life. We help you answer both without overbuying.

Long term careHelp paying for care at home or in a facility

Life insurance

  • Term life covers you for a set period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. It is usually the most affordable way to protect a family or a mortgage.
  • Permanent life, such as whole life or universal life, is designed to last your lifetime and can build cash value.
  • We help you work out how much coverage you need, for how long, and which type fits.

Long term care

  • Long term care coverage helps pay for help with daily living, at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing home.
  • Health insurance and Medicare generally do not pay for extended custodial care, which is why people plan for it separately.
  • Options include traditional long term care policies and life insurance policies with a long term care benefit.
  • Cost depends heavily on your age and health when you apply, so it pays to look earlier.

Common questions

How much life insurance do I need?

It depends on who relies on your income, your debts, and what you want to leave behind. A common starting point is to cover your income for the years your family would need it, plus major debts like a mortgage. We work through the numbers with you.

What is the difference between term and permanent life insurance?

Term life covers a set number of years and pays only if you die during that time. Permanent life is designed to last your whole life and can build cash value, and it costs more.

Does Medicare pay for long term care?

Generally not for extended custodial care, such as ongoing help with bathing, dressing, or eating. That gap is the reason long term care coverage exists.

When should I look at long term care coverage?

Earlier is usually better. Price and eligibility depend on your age and health when you apply, and some people can no longer qualify once health problems appear.
