Long-Term Care Self Insurance  

Nobody wants to think about the possibility of needing long-term care. But if, somewhere down the line, you and/or your spouse do need assistance, will you have the funds available to pay for care? How much will an extended stay in a nursing facility or care received in your own home cost? Will you be able to meet this cost and still pay your and/or your spouse’s personal living expenses? Will there be enough left over to provide an inheritance for your loved ones or your favorite charity? Does it make sense to self-insure when private long-term care coverage is available? This calculator will assist you in answering these questions.
