A: You might need as much as $1,500,000 to self-insure for long term care. We are currently spending $1500/week for my Father-in- Law and his Wife. That is $390,000 over 5 years, $780,000 over 10 years in today’s dollars. Inflation for medical care is rising faster than for other goods and services. With a projected 37% of adults age 65 projected to need assistance, planning for this very real issue is important. There are many different ways to fund for Long Term Care.
