Long-Term Care Insurance in Decatur, IL

Have you had a loved one who needed care in a nursing home, assisted living, or at home? If you do have this first-hand experience, you know just how paralyzing the expense of long-term care can be.

Once you turn 65, you have a 70% chance of requiring care
The average length of stay in a facility is about 3 years
The average cost for a 1-year stay is about $85,000
Over the last 20 years, the cost of long-term care has doubled
You’re most likely to go on claim at age 85

What if I don’t get insurance?

Losing your home to the nursing home isn’t unheard of. In fact, it’s pretty common. If you don’t have any way to pay for a stay at a nursing home, you will have to sell your house, your car, and any other assets you own. Then, you will end up on state aid, called Medicaid.

Once you’re on Medicaid, you lose any input on where you will recieve care. The quality of nursing homes and other facilities varies greatly, and Medicaid will place you at the least expensive one.

Rachel was professional and persistent ( I am busy and hard to reach). The product pricing was acceptable - and affordable compared to other alternatives. The product's combination of life and long-term care coverage makes sense for me and my family.

I was just glad to hear about the John Hancock long term care/life Insurance policy they offer. My husband had complained for years trying to get me to invest in stocks, but I refused. Boy was he shocked when I immediately decided to sock some away in this policy. Now he has nothing more to complain about!
