How long-term care insurance works

Under most long-term care policies, you’re eligible for benefits when you can’t do at least two out of six “activities of daily living,” called ADLs, on your own or you suffer from dementia or other cognitive impairment.

The activities of daily living are:

Bathing
Caring for incontinence
Dressing
Eating
Toileting (getting on or off the toilet)
Transferring (getting in or out of a bed or a chair)

Cost of long-term care insurance

The rates you pay depend on a variety of factors, including:

Your age and health: The older you are and the more health issues you have, the higher the cost when purchasing a policy.
Gender: Women typically pay more than men because they tend to live longer and are more likely to file long-term care insurance claims.
Marital status: Premiums are generally lower for married individuals compared to single individuals.
Insurance company: Prices for the same coverage can vary significantly among different insurance companies. Therefore, it’s essential to compare quotes from multiple carriers.
Amount of coverage: You’ll pay more for comprehensive coverage, which includes higher daily and lifetime benefit limits, cost-of-living adjustments to protect against inflation, shorter elimination periods, and fewer restrictions on the types of care covered.
