Schedule LTC Planning SessionLong-term care planning works best when integrated with overall retirement strategy. Columbia residents should consider LTC insurance alongside Social Security optimization, GM pension planning, 401(k) management, and estate planning to create comprehensive protection.
Columbia couples need strategies that protect both spouses. Shared-care policies allow couples to share benefits, while individual policies ensure both have adequate protection. Planning prevents one spouse's care needs from impoverishing the other.
While Medicaid covers long-term care costs, it requires spending down assets to qualify. Columbia residents who want to protect home equity, preserve inheritance, and maintain care choices need private insurance or careful Medicaid planning.
Frequently Asked Questions - Columbia Long-Term Care
A: Medicare provides very limited long-term care coverage - only skilled nursing for up to 100 days after a qualifying hospital stay. It doesn't cover custodial care, which represents most long-term care needs.
A: Traditional LTC insurance premiums are "lost" if you don't use benefits, which is why many Columbia residents prefer hybrid policies that provide life insurance or annuity benefits if long-term care isn't needed.
