What Do People Know About Long-Term Services and Supports?
Previous research demonstrates that lack of planning for the potential need for long-term services and supports (LTSS) is associated with lack of knowledge about these services. People who do not have a firm understanding of their longevity risks, probability of needing and using LTSS, and the associated costs for services may be less likely to plan for their future LTSS needs. With the rapid…
Long-Term Services and Supports: What are the Concerns and What are People Willing to Do?
This issue brief examines concerns individuals have about becoming disabled and needing long-term services and supports (LTSS), how these concerns vary by household income and assets, what actions people are willing to take to address their LTSS needs, and how homeowners who are willing to use home equity to finance LTSS differ from those who are not willing.
Which Way for Long-Term Services and Supports Financing Reform?
Despite the high costs for long-term services and supports (LTSS), the current financing system inadequately protects people from the financial devastation of long-term disabling conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or stroke. Private long-term care (LTC) insurance coverage is low and Medicare does not cover LTSS. Consequently, many individuals must pay out of pocket for LTSS and risk using up…
Choosing Long-Term Care Insurance Policies: What Do People Want?
Long-term services and supports (LTSS) are expensive. The average private pay cost of a private room nursing home stay in 2014 was about $88,000 a year. Although this cost is insurable through private long-term care (LTC) insurance, coverage is low. At the same time, limited data are available about people's preferences for various features of LTC insurance, inhibiting our understanding of the…
