Episode 221 of our Retire With Style podcast is out now! In this week’s episode of Retire With Style, Alex and I walk through the basics of long-term care. What it is, what it isn’t, and why it deserves a place in your retirement plan.
A key point we emphasize early on: Medicare does not cover long-term care. That alone creates a planning gap for many retirees.
We also discuss how long-term care is defined, the likelihood of needing care, and the different ways people actually receive support. For many, it begins with help from family before transitioning into more formal care options over time.
From there, we outline the full spectrum of care and the four primary ways to fund it, whether through personal assets, insurance, or Medicaid.
This is one of those topics that’s easy to put off. But having a framework in place can make a meaningful difference later. Listen now to learn more!
