Long-Term Care
Self-Insurance

Will You Be Able to Afford Nursing Home Care?

Nobody wants to think about the possibility of needing long-term care. But if, somewhere down the line, you and/or your spouse do need assistance, will you have the funds available to pay for care? How much will an extended stay in a nursing facility or care received in your own home cost? Will you be able to meet this cost and still pay your and/or your spouse’s personal living expenses? Will there be enough left over to provide an inheritance for your loved ones or your favorite charity? Does it make sense to self-insure when private long-term-care coverage may be available? This calculator will assist you in answering these questions.

Based on your assumptions, the results show the potential cost of care for one year, three years, five years, and 10 years of care.
