Many people don’t know exactly what this type of insurance is or what kind of benefits it provides. Whether you’re a consumer or an advisor still unable to take that first step into any long-term care conversation an advisor has with a client – hope these set of starter questions will be of help.
Question #1: At what age should I begin the long-term care planning process?
Answer: The earlier the better. Preparing now for the possibility that you could live a long life and may need extended care planning to support your family is a very good idea. At CLTC, we have expertise that can help you start the process. Find out more here.
Question #2: What questions should my financial advisor be asking?
Answer: Your advisor will need to know 3 crucial things to help you prepare for your future needs: (1) where you want to live while receiving extended care; (2) who will be there to provide the care; and (3) how or what will pay for it. A professional skilled in long-term care planning will ask these key questions and then guide you to the right decisions.

Question #3: What is extended care planning?
Answer: Extended care planning is another way of describing the financial and logistical arrangements you will make to prepare for the assistance you will need if you have a long-term care impairment. We refer to this as extended care planning, not long-term care planning, because the term “long-term care” carries many misconceptions, including a negative assumption to think only of nursing homes. Contact us and discover more about extended care planning and what it means for you.
Question #4: Will I qualify for Medicaid?
Answer: Whether or not you’ll qualify for Medicaid to help with your long-term care expenses varies from state to state. At CLTC, we can help you understand more about how Medicaid will work for you and propose options to help you plan for your care expenses. Find out more today.
