Anyone Want a Roadmap for your Long Term Care Planning?

Continuing along the same path as yesterday, I was browsing various government websites that speak to Long Term care and came across the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They created it to “provide information and resources to help you and your family plan for future long-term care (LTC) needs.”
The site has some good information on understanding, planning and paying for long term care. They also have a planning kit that they can mail to you. There is also a great page of related links that can help in your research.
A really good section is on the paying for the long term care. They have a great section on private funding which includes long term care insurance, annuities, trusts, etc. I didn’t see Reverse Mortgages listed which surprised me since 90% of Reverse Mortgages are government insured products.
Of all the websites I’ve seen, I believe that this is the best one I’ve seen to get people started in their own planning or in the planning for their family members.
