(We Think) You Already Know What You Need

Most long-term care articles talk about how much it costs to pay for in-home care or an extended stay at an assisted living facility, and talk about how Medicare isn’t gonna cover it.  They talk about triggering the policy by not being able to complete 2 of the 6 activities of daily living…

You already know all this!  You just need QUOTES now!

Or at least, that’s our assumption.  If you just need rates for a 65 year old, move to the next section.  If you’re not sure how much insurance you actually need, we recommend you check out SeniorLiving.org’s resource about the cost of assisted living and home care in the U.S.

Sample Long-Term Care Rates for Age 60 to 69

Please understand the quotes we’re about to show vary widely on the options you choose.

Some common long-term care options are:

• Inflation protection
• Waiting period before coverage begins (elimination period)
• Benefit period (how long the policy pays out)
• and Maximum benefit (what’s the max amount the policy will pay out)

The rates also change quite a bit if you’re single 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68 to 69, as compared to married.  Married people tend to provide care for each other so they need to use the insurance less, making it a bit cheaper for married folks.  Better health can also fetch you a better rate.  For the quotes below, we’ll assume you’re in great health.

3 Ways to Reduce Your LTC Premium For 60 & 65 Year Olds

There are several things you can do to lower the cost of your long-term care policy.

How to lower the cost of long term care insurance for a 60 year old?

#1 – Remove the 5% Compound Inflation

The inflation option essentially doubles your benefit every 15 years.  The thinking is maybe you’re 63 now and it costs $6,000 per month for assisted living in your state.  But when you’re 73 in 10 years, the same facility might cost $9,000 to $10,000.  By adding the inflation option, your benefit will increase every year.

Other options instead of removing it all together would be choosing simple interest (does not compound), if the company has that option.

#2 – Extend the Waiting Period (Elimination Period)

I’ve quoted a 90-day waiting period above, but many policies will allow you to extend that to 6 months to a year.

If you can sustain 6 months to a year of nursing home/assisted living costs, this might be a great option for you.  For example, say you’re 66 years old right now and as of today, you qualify for the long term care insurance to kick in, but you’ve selected a 1-year elimination (waiting) period.  You will need to cover the costs of your care for 1 year before the insurance benefit begins paying you.

#3 – Reduce the Benefit Period

The quotes above show a policy paying out for up to 3 years.  Some policies will let you reduce that to 2 years.  This reduces the company’s financial risk, so your premiums get reduced as well.
