Bob and Mary are typical retirees. They worked hard their entire lives, saved, and addressed the obstacles to an enjoyable retirement — except one.

Bob and Mary have not prepared for the risk of needing long-term care (LTC).

Bob and Mary are willing to assume the entire risk of LTC themselves based on the options they have been presented. The problem with self-funding LTC comes with its high price tag. While many have a “rainy day” fund, there is no guarantee that it will be enough.

Another approach may be to use the rainy day asset to purchase a much larger pool of dollars that can be used for LTC expenses.

Asset-based long term care protection is whole life insurance that allows access to the death benefit for qualifying LTC expenses. Funding Asset-based long term care protection with a single premium from a source such as a CD, can provide a larger pool of dollars for care, guaranteed cash value accumulation, and if care is never needed, a death benefit to heirs.

It can even provide benefits to both Bob and Mary from a single policy.

When you own asset-based long term care protection, you can be confident in 3 things:

• In general, your premium will never increase
• The amount of death/long term care benefits you have is generally guaranteed
• Your money earns interest, often with a minimum guaranteed interest rate

With Asset-Based care, there are two ways to pay for protection.

One option is to utilize an existing asset – typically money you currently have in CD’s, savings, annuities, IRA’s or retirement plan funds – as your guaranteed single premium.

A second option is to pay in a more traditional way, making annual premiums that are guaranteed to never increase.
