Clients are often reluctant to spend money to purchase long-term health care insurance. While that is understandable, if one can afford the cost and is healthy enough to obtain the insurance, it is indeed a very wise investment. With nursing homes currently costing in excess of $10,000 per month in the metropolitan New York area, it is difficult for all but the very wealthy to continue to pay that cost out-of-pocket. The only option, besides paying for the care out of one's own funds, is to use long-term care insurance, or to divest oneself of essentially all of one's assets. If there is a spouse at home, the cost of such care can severely impact the lifestyle of that spouse. Having long-term care insurance can certainly alleviate the financial and emotional pressure caused by the need for long-term care.
