Long term care (LTC) has been a growing concern over the years with life expectancies and medical advancements increasing the likelihood of a long term care need. Additionally, the cost of this care has been rapidly increasing. Many people may find the need for long term care insurance (LTCI), which makes it even more important to understand the various strategies and advantages available when paying for LTCI. One important benefit to LTCI beyond the base coverage is that long term care insurance can provide additional tax incentives for individuals and business owners.
