Kim Beckham - Texas Long Term Care Insurance Specialist

Think you’ll never need long term care? Studies show that more than 70% of people over 65 will need some type of long term care.

Think your private health insurance or Medicare will cover it? Most long term care services aren't covered by your health insurance, and Medicare only pays for very specific, limited care. Medicaid requires you to spend down nearly all of your assets to qualify for assistance.

Startling statistics about long term care in America.

Someone turning age 65 today has almost a 70% chance of needing some type of long-term care services and supports in their remaining years
Women need care longer (3.7 years) than men (2.2 years)
One-third of today’s 65 year-olds may never need long-term care support, but 20 percent will need it for longer than 5 years

It might be hard to imagine now, but chances are you’ll need some help taking care of yourself later in life. The big question is: How will you pay for it?

Buying long-term care insurance is one way to prepare. Long-term care refers to a host of services that aren’t covered by regular health insurance. This includes assistance with routine daily activities, like bathing, dressing or getting in and out of bed.

A long-term care insurance policy helps cover the costs of that care when you have a chronic medical condition, a disability or a disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Long term care planning can mean the difference between making care decisions based on quality and personal preference or based on costs . Without proper planning, loved ones taking on the role of caregiver can be faced with financial, emotional and physical stresses that can greatly impact their daily lives. Hense, long-term-care insurance.

What is Long Term Care Insurance?

Traditional health insurance and disability insurance are not designed to pay for long term care services. Additionally, Social Security and Medicare do not pay for the costs of long term care. Private long term care insurance may be your best option to help cover the future cost of care.

The duration and level of long-term care will vary from person to person and often change over time. Here are some statistics (all are “on average”) you should consider:

Client Testimonials

Baby Boomer in South Texas
At the "young" age of 50, I purchased a LTC policy because I saw the benefit and had heard many elderly people and their families wish they had that option when deciding about non-medical care. At the time I purchased my LTC, the national average for caregiver services per hour was $25. I hadn't won a lottery nor had a wealthy relative leave money to me so....

My reasons were pretty simple. I wanted to be taken care of on my own terms as much as possible and as long as possible without breaking the bank. I did not want to burden my children and their families with any expenses for my care when needed. I am so glad I made that purchase then. As it worked out, less than 8 years later, I am no longer health eligible to purchase a policy. It is a small sacrifice to pay now, but I know it will be worth the peace of mind later.

Unfortunately I have seen too many people whose lives have been negatively affected by progressive illness, aging, or tragedy when LTC insurance has not been in place. I preferred to lighten the burden on my children and grandchildren by taking responsibility now. Kim is very knowledgeable and a great resource.

Dianne from Corpus Christi, Texas
Kim is a terrific agent who told me years ago... "You're not getting any younger, Dianne, and it won't get any cheaper!" After seeing my mother's assets depleted paying for her Alzheimer's care, I realized it was the smartest thing I've ever done!

Cynthia A. Jennison

P.L. from Texas: “Many years ago we met Kim Beckham. At the time, we did not realize what a blessing this would turn out to be. Kim was just a very nice saleslady selling Long Term Care Insurance. We were in our middle years at the time, but even then we could not imagine the need we would have as we grew old. I am now 85 and my husband is 87. Due to unexpected care needs about 5 years ago, we did need this protection. Due to many options in purchasing insurance, Kim guided us in the perfect direction. Over the years since we met Kim, she has become a dear friend to our family. I know that even today I could call her for advice, & Kim will never know how very grateful we are for her honesty & caring attitude. She is a great saleslady, but even better, a cherished friend.”
