Long term care

These pages aim to give you a brief background to the issues around Long Term Care and is sourced from information provided by the Chartered Insurance Institute and product providers.

The need for Long Term Care is a growing issue as people live longer and medical advances keep up going longer. Did you know that nursing costs (long-term care) can hit the value of your assets much harder than inheritance tax? The statistics show that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will require some form of care at some stage.

There is a great deal of confusion surrounding what the state will or might pay for, particularly since the new rules in October 2001, and how the costs can be funded, whether you wish to stay in your own home or move to a residential or nursing home.
