What is Long-Term Care?
Long-term care is support provided to people who cannot live independently. There are three main types of LTC: 1) Informal
Care, which consists of in-home caregivers and support from family members 2) Institutional Care, which consists of nursing
homes and assisted living centers and 3) Community Based Care, which consists of day time care for elderly people in community
centers and transportation services. Currently Long-term care account for 1.3% of the US GDP and that number is expected to
grow to 3% by 2050.

Insights
§ Medicaid pays for the largest portion of long-term care, as people who exhaust private insurance policies or simply cannot
afford their care, rely on Medicaid. Out of Pocket is (private pay) for long-term care has been growing and makes up over
20% of overall expenditures on LTC
§ Other alternatives are long-term care insurance which currently have high premiums, but as more people have a need for the
insurance, more people will sign up, and the premiums will likely drop
§ Many people underestimate the costs of long-term care, especially the cost of nursing homes
