Long Term Care Insurance - The #1 Unfunded Health Liability

Although we accept car, homeowners, dental and medical coverage insurance as a normal part of life; the average state resident is not aware or does not believe that they need LTC Insurance. What is of greater concern is the fact that CT has the dubious honor of being the second most expensive state for nursing home care at $414/day or over $150,000 per year? This means that when, either in later life or due to an early, unfortunate curtailment of physical independence one has to pay out of pocket to obtain the daily assistance for house cleaning, food preparation, personal hygiene or any combination thereof or the dependence on family members to provide this care.

Whatever health care program is established by our new Washington administration, it will not include this option but you can investigate a personal savings account with your employer.

It is important for you and your family to watch this CT Valley Views show segment with Susan Regan as your host and her guest David Guttchen, Director for CT Partnership for Long Term Care as he explains all risks, benefits and costs involved with this option to retain your dignity and independence should the need arise.
