| Long-term
care is costly. The national average monthly cost
exceeds $4,600. Approximately one sixth of all individuals
who are now 18 years old can expect to spend two
and a half years in a nursing home at a cost of $100,000.
Statistics show that 72 percent of people admitted
to a nursing home become penniless within the first
year. Without enough assets to spend about $30,000
a year on long-term care, an individual’s or
family’s life style could be severely affected
without financial protection. Fortunately, Christian
Brothers Employee Benefit Trust offers a workable
solution, voluntary long-term care insurance.
Long-term care insurance protects against financial
strain of paying for extensive stays in nursing homes
or the extended use of in-home care, not covered
by disability or private health insurance. The coverage
provides a daily benefit amount to pay for care at
a nursing home or alternative care facility.
