Colorado Long Term Care Insurance
Long Term Care insurance helps to protect your assets and prevent you from becoming dependent on family and friends for your care, by paying the expensive costs
of your long term care (LTC) at home, in adult day care, in an assisted living facility or in a nursing home. Nursing home care now costs over $50,000 per year in most
locations.
Coverage
may also include household chores, laundry, meal preparation, shopping, transportation, caregiver training and more. Coverage is available for a
fixed number of years or for life. Long term care insurance
is available with features such as spousal discounts,
group discounts and guaranteed rates.
Term life and universal life insurance products
are available which include long
term care benefits, so that you will receive the life insurance benefits even if you never use the long term care benefits!
Long
term care insurance policies typically require that you need assistance or supervision with 2 or more activities
of daily living (ADL's) or you have a cognitive impairment. ADL's include:
-
eating
-
bathing

If you are over age 50, we recommend that you include long term care

Note: On February 8, 2006, President Bush signed the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) into law. The DRA includes a number of significant changes to
the Federal Medicaid eligibility rules, particularly regarding transferring your assets and look back periods. You should discuss the current Medicaid eligibility rules with your advisor when planning for long term care.

DISCLOSURE AND RELEASE: If you are a client or prospect and do not accept
our offer to run a free quote for LTC insurance, your action shall be considered as a decline of our offer and a decision not to purchase LTC
insurance. You understand that if you should decide to buy LTC
insurance in the future, that the cost of insurance may be higher and
unaffordable, that you may develop a medical problem that may cause your
application to be declined, or to be accepted only at a higher cost or
with limited benefits, and you accept all risks of your decision, and

insurance, to assist you and to help protect and preserve your estate. We
recommend that you consider this matter carefully and discuss it with
your family members, heirs and future caregivers.
