Long Term Care Planning Encouraged in New York State



New York state is setting up a program that will implement a long term care planning bill that was introduced by Sen. Jeff Klein. According to state Senate officials, New York will do whatever it can to encourage residents to be responsible in paying for their long term care expenses.

The said program will recommend residents to plan for end-of-life care, consider their loved ones who might take the responsibility of caregiving and considering long-term care insurance or life insurance as financial tools. The bill will also allow residents to use their accelerated death benefits to pay for nursing homes, hospice care, adult day care, palliative care and home care.
