It can provide an income stream that is separate from the income needed to meet other financial commitments. Transferring the risk of costly long-term care to an insurance company can do the following.<\/p>\n
\n- Create a reliable stream of income that is dedicated to providing your care<\/li>\n
- Protect your primary source of income and the financial goals you have established<\/li>\n
- Give your loved ones the ability to supervise your care, rather than provide it, which has the added benefit of allowing them to retain their relationship with you as spouse, partner, daughter, son, etc. rather than being consumed by the role of caregiver<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The world of long-term care insurance has expanded greatly in the past several years.
