Planning Beyond the Unexpected

Long-term care planning is about more than buying insurance.

It is about deciding ahead of time where money for care could come from, what assets you want to preserve, and what you would want to leave behind if significant care is never needed.

01

Protecting What You've Built

Explore whether relying entirely on retirement savings and investments for an extended care event fits your broader plan.

02

Planning for Your Family

Consider how future care needs could affect both family members and the assets you hope to preserve for them.

03

Understanding the Tradeoffs

Learn why some people explore strategies that may provide long-term care benefits while retaining value if care is never needed.

A Different Approach

What is Asset-Based Long-Term Care?

Asset-based long-term care generally refers to strategies that combine long-term care benefits with another financial benefit, such as life insurance or an annuity.

Depending on the specific product and its terms, existing assets may be repositioned to help provide benefits for qualifying care, while remaining value may be available through other policy benefits if care is never needed.

These strategies are not appropriate for everyone. Liquidity, underwriting, policy costs, benefit structure, and other tradeoffs should all be considered.

The Question
If extended care were needed, where would the money come from?
Self-Funding
Care expenses may be paid directly from savings, investments, income, or other available resources.
Traditional LTC
Traditional long-term care insurance may provide benefits for qualifying care in exchange for ongoing premiums, subject to policy terms.
Asset-Based LTC
Certain strategies may combine long-term care benefits with additional value such as a death benefit or other policy benefits, depending on the product selected.

Is It Worth Exploring?

This conversation may be worth having if...

Rather than assuming future expenses will simply come from retirement assets.

✓

Preserving assets for loved ones matters.

Legacy planning is an important consideration alongside preparing for possible care.

✓

You dislike the idea of paying for benefits you may never use.

Common Questions

Before taking the assessment

Does taking the assessment mean I'm applying for insurance?
No. The assessment is designed to help identify your priorities and whether learning more about Asset-Based Long-Term Care may make sense. Any actual product application would be a separate process.
What happens if long-term care is never needed?
This depends entirely on the type of strategy and policy selected. Some asset-based approaches may include other benefits, such as a death benefit for beneficiaries, subject to policy terms.
Do I have to reposition all of my retirement assets?
No. Asset-Based Long-Term Care planning generally evaluates whether using a portion of available assets may fit within a broader financial strategy.
Is Asset-Based Long-Term Care right for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on factors including financial goals, liquidity needs, health and underwriting eligibility, available assets, policy design, and other considerations.

A future care event shouldn't be the first time you think about how to pay for it.
