It feels a little silly to be writing about long-term care insurance because only about 10% of the older adult population has purchased it.
But, it comes up a lot in conversations I have with friends and family… either they’re thinking of buying it or they or their parents have a policy that’s hard to understand.
Also, many, many women want to know… “What can I do to make sure I can pay for care when I need it?”
Because remember… as women, we especially face the possibility that old age will bring with it the need for a lot of help with basic life activities that we do for ourselves now without even thinking: like bathing, eating or dressing.
