NEWS YOU CAN USE
A recent Northwestern Mutual study revealed that younger people are more informed about long
term care (LTC) financing and are more likely to be saving for their future needs than older Americans.
Out of more than 2,000 people surveyed, about 30% said they were saving for future LTC needs. The number was highest (36%) for those between 18 and 34 years old. Only 21% of people between the ages of 45 and 54 said they were saving.
The 18-to-34-year-old respondents were less likely than other groups to trust that traditional insurance programs would pay for their LTC expenses. Only 37% of this demographic said they believed Medicare, Medicaid or other insurance generally covers LTC, compared with 52% of those 55 or older. If younger people are beginning to have a firmer grasp on LTC needs and the most common payment methods, it could be because they are increasingly becoming caregivers for family and friends. About 70% of caregivers polled in the survey said they’ve made plans to address their own future needs. “We’re seeing awareness of LTC issues at earlier and earlier ages,” stated Steve Sperka, Northwestern Mutual Vice President of LTC. “Younger people are more aware today of the effects that LTC issues could have on their lives, especially if they find themselves in a caregiving role.”
