Thinking Long Term
Long-Term care is the kind of financial jargon that puts even actuaries to sleep. It refers to the potentially catastrophic medical costs associated with the in-home care, assisted-living facilities and nursing homes that nearly half of 65-year-olds will need in some measure near the end of their lives. Regular health insurance excludes these expenses, and Medicaid does not pick them up until virtually all your resources have been exhausted. You can easily spend $300,000 on just two years of care.
