Do you know how much a year in a nursing home or assisted living costs in Idaho?

Do you know if long-term care insurance is right for you and how to avoid mistakes if you decide to purchase it?

What is the likelihood you will ever need long-term care in your lifetime?
 
You can find answers to all of these questions and more by downloading or requesting the Idaho Guide to Long-term Care services and insurance prices. The guide was developed in collaboration with the Idaho Department of Insurance and the University of Idaho.
 
The book is the only source available in Idaho where a person can compare the prices of Idaho long-term care insurance policies and the prices of nursing homes and assisted living facilities in their communities.
 
Paying for LTC Services
 
The guide helps people save time planning for their long-term care needs and informs people how to pay for long-term care.
 
Long-term Care Insurance
 
For people interested in long-term care insurance, it helps people assess if it is right for them. It gives tips to avoid common mistakes and suggestions about how to take charge to purchase the long-term care insurance to meet their needs.
