Why Planning for Long-Term Care Matters
People are living longer than ever, and with that comes the growing reality that 70% of those over 65 will need some form of long-term care. The thought of being a burden on loved ones weighs heavy for many families. Long-term care insurance exists so you can secure professional care—like nursing homes, assisted living, or home health aides—without putting your spouse or children in a difficult position. UNI Worldwide Financial Marketing helps you put a plan in place that preserves both your dignity and your family’s peace of mind.
What Long-Term Care Insurance Actually Covers
Nursing Home Care
Pays for stays in skilled nursing facilities when daily help is needed.
Assisted Living
Covers residential care for those who need support but not round-the-clock nursing.
Home Health Aides
Provides funds for help with bathing, dressing, or mobility at home.
Adult Daycare & Respite Care
Offers flexible support for family caregivers.
Trigger for Benefits
Most policies pay out once you need help with two or more “Activities of Daily Living” (like bathing or eating).
Medicare and health insurance rarely pay for these services long-term. Long-term care insurance fills the gap—protecting your assets from the high costs of care and giving you more choices for your future.
Flexible LTC Policy Options—Not Just “Use It or Lose It”
Modern plans offer more than just traditional stand-alone LTC coverage. Ask an Agent about:
- Hybrid Life + LTC Policies: Combine life insurance with long-term care benefits—so your premiums either fund care if you need it, or provide a death benefit to heirs if you don’t.
- Customizable Features: Options for shared spousal benefits, inflation protection, or return-of-premium riders.
- Budget-Friendly Solutions: Choose a shorter benefit period (e.g., 3 years), higher deductible (“elimination period”), or tailored coverage to fit your budget and goals.
No two families are the same, and today’s LTC policies are designed with flexibility so you get value from your plan, whatever happens.
Cost, Planning, and the Smartest Time to Start
Start Early
The best time to look at LTC insurance is in your 50s or early 60s—rates are lower and you’re more likely to qualify.
Big Picture
A manageable monthly premium now helps you avoid six-figure bills for care later—nursing home care in Georgia can cost $100,000+ per year.
Balance Affordability
UNI’s advisors help you find the right mix of coverage and premium—so you don’t pay for more than you need.
We’ll give you straight answers on whether LTC insurance is right for you, what it costs, and all your alternatives—so you can make a confident decision before life gets complicated.
Guidance for Seniors and Families in Georgia
For Couples and Families

For Adult Children Planning for Parents
Discuss ways to combine family resources and protect a parent’s estate from the high cost of elder care.

Your Long-Term Care Questions, Answered
Do I need long-term care insurance or should I self-insure?
It depends on your assets, income, and family situation. We’ll help you compare costs and alternatives, so you can make an informed choice.
How does LTC insurance work for nursing homes and assisted living?
Once you can’t perform two or more Activities of Daily Living, policies pay for qualified care services at home or in a facility—subject to daily/monthly limits.
What’s the cost for a 60-year-old?
Premiums vary, but starting at age 60 is often more affordable than waiting. We’ll guide you through our vast network of carriers and find the right fit for your unique situation.
What if I never use my policy?
Hybrid and return-of-premium options mean your money still benefits you or your heirs—so nothing is wasted.
Is this only for nursing homes?
No—LTC coverage includes home care, adult daycare, assisted living, and more. Most people want care at home; your plan can reflect that.
