Yourself and a Partner/Spouse
Many people appreciate the peace of mind that long-term care insurance provides. They know that regardless of which partner needs care there won't be the added worry or burden of care. There is also the benefit of keeping control of the quality of your care and the protection of your assets. This is particularly relevant when you consider that it's estimated that 42% of Americans who reach the age of 70 can expect to use some form of long term care.
With today's smaller families and people frequently living thousands of miles from even their closest relatives many people see long term care insurance as a way they can keep their independence while maintaining control of their lives.
