As you get older, it will be more likely that your chances of requiring some type of long-term care assistance will increase. The cost of even just a few years of long-term care can easily wipe out your life savings so you will absolutely want to buy long-term care insurance (LTCI) to protect you in the future.

Deciding when to purchase LTCI is the most important thing to do in acquiring long term care insurance which will depend on your age and your ability to pay the premiums. Your long term care insurance premiums are based on your age at the time you purchase the policy, your premiums will be less expensive the younger you are. However, if you purchase long term care insurance too early, you may be paying premiums over a long time period.

When is the right time to buy long term care insurance policy? Most insurance companies in the market will write an LTCI policy for anyone between the ages of 40 and 84. Most people I know purchase long term care insurance only when they reach their 50s or 60s. This will protect them from ending up paying significantly higher premiums because they waited too long to purchase a policy.

Your decision on the matter depends on your individual circumstances. However, you may want to consider purchasing long term care insurance policy if some of the following criteria apply: ages of 40 and 84; significant savings and other assets that you would like to protect; good health and insurable; can afford to pay the premiums now and will be able to afford to pay the premiums in the future.
