What is Long Term Care Insurance, and How to Use It
As some may know, paying for in-home care for seniors can be very dauting, but we are here to inform you of how your Long-Term Care Insurance can be used to pay for services. Long Term Care (LTC) is a private insurance that covers either some or all cost of residing at a nursing home, assisted living, or remaining in the comfort of your home and receiving the consistent needed care. Long Term Care refers to a host of services that aren’t covered by regular health insurance which are Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). Care includes bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring (walking), and continence. Most policies will reimburse you for care giving in a variety of places such as your home, nursing home, assisted living facility, and adult day care center. Long Term Care Insurance can be expensive and may last up to 3 years or more (up to 10+ years in cases of Alzheimer’s and Dementia). The cost of a policy is based on the type and amount of services, how old you are when you buy the policy, and any optional benefits you choose. The cost can also increase for individuals who are older, have health problems, or want more benefits within their policy. It may be easier to qualify for long term care insurance through an employer sponsored program which can enhance cheaper group rates than the cost of an individual policy.
Who pays? When it comes to who pays for long term care, these policies are often paid for by the individual who purchases the policy or a family member. It’s never too early to start planning for a long-term care policy. Family members often become responsible for paying for care services when a parent or loved one cannot afford to pay for their care. Children can also transfer the risk of paying for their parents care by paying for their long-term care insurance policy. When an individual can no longer do 2 out of 6 of the ADL’s mentioned above, long term care insurance pays for services you receive from an assisted living facility, nursing home, adult day care center, and your home. Buying coverage can lead to more options and less financial pressure on your family.
Long Term Care insurance has many different payment methods which reflect on how to pay for a caregiver/private duty home care. The disability method pays out a daily benefit amount to an eligible policyholder whether they are receiving long term care services or not. The indemnity method pays a policyholder directly in the form of a preset dollar amount regardless of the cost they incur. You can also sign up for an annuity contract with an insurance company to help pay for long-term care services. The insurance provider will send you an annuity, which is a series of regular payments made over a certain period, in exchange for a single payment or a series of payments. Long Term Care Insurance does have an elimination period which is the period during care which care costs will have to be paid for out of pocket before coverage kicks in. Some policies have a zero-day elimination period so benefits can begin immediately while others have a 60-day, 90-day, or even 120-day requirement. If a policy has a longer elimination period a considerable sum of money may still have to be paid out of pocket to begin coverage. Please keep in mind that once the elimination period ends, you will be reimbursed by your long-term care provider. If you or your loved one has an (LTC) policy and needs care, our care team can assist you with explaining your benefit coverage at no cost.

Its about choosing what comes next on your terms and stepping into a lifestyle thats simpler, safer, and more aligned with how you want to live. Understanding the Marketand Your OptionsIn the first half of 2025, the DallasFort Worth housing market is shifting toward more balance. That means sellers are still seeing solid value, while buyers have more time and options to make thoughtful choices. If youre thinking about downsizing, this could be a great moment to take the leap.According to Karen Young, a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), the DFW housing market is especially active among adults 55 and older who are looking for the ideal place to relocate or invest in their retirement future. Texas consistently appeals to seniors, she explains, with its favorable tax climate, reasonable cost of living, and diverse options in senior-focused communities.Karen also notes a rising demand for homes in active adult neighborhoods offering amenities like fitness centers, social activities, and maintenance-free living. Im personally seeing senior executives moving toward retirement increasingly consider these communities, she says, either as a current lifestyle choice or a strategic investment for their future.With DFWs competitive real estate landscape, Karen encourages seniors to be proactive and to work with real estate professionals experienced in senior relocation. This is especially important when navigating tax strategies related to capital gains and understanding senior property tax exemption status, she adds.Whether you plan to move to a smaller home or to an active adult or retirement community, understanding your real estate options is key. That includes knowing what your current home is worth, what kind of living space fits your lifestyle, and what steps are needed to get from where you are now to where you want to be.Thats where professionalslike real estate agents, organizers, and senior relocation specialistscan make all the difference.Your Moving Preparation ChecklistHaving an outline or list of where to begin the process can help you put everything in perspective and alleviate the overwhelm of it all.

Should You Downsize in 2025?
As we get older, life naturally starts to feel a bit different. What once felt like the perfect family home can start to feel like a LOT of work. Cleaning empty bedrooms, climbing stairs, keeping up the yardsometimes it all adds up to more stress than comfort.If youve been thinking, Do I really need all this space?youre not alone. More and more older adults across the country, including here in the DallasFort Worth (DFW) area, are choosing to downsize (or as we like to say, rightsize) to something that better fits their current lifestyle. In fact, a 2024 report by the North Texas Real Estate Information Systems (NTREIS) showed that DFW homeowners aged 60+ accounted for nearly 1 in 4 home sales, many of whom were selling larger homes to move into smaller, more manageable properties or senior living communities. Whether it's relocating to a smaller home, a condo, or a retirement community, the decision can lead to less upkeep, more freedom, and a boost to your financesespecially in todays housing market. But with interest rates, housing prices, and inflation all playing a part, how do you know whats right for you?Lets break it down.Whats Happening with Interest Rates in 2025?As of April 2025, interest rates are still relatively high, with the average 30-year mortgage hovering around 6.7%7%. That might seem like a reason to waitbut for seniors who are selling a large, mortgage-free home, downsizing still makes strong financial sense.Why? Because many retirees are cash buyersmeaning you may not need a mortgage at all when purchasing a smaller home, condo, or moving into a retirement community.You can sell your current home (often at a high price, since real estate values have remained strong in many parts of the country) and use the equity to pay outright for a smaller propertyor invest it for future needs.Whats the Smarter Move: Smaller Home or Retirement Community?Before you start packing boxes or browsing condo listings, take a moment to reflect. Ask yourself: Do I want to cut monthly costs and free up some equity? Do I crave more social opportunities, built-in amenities, and less responsibility when it comes to maintaining a home?If you're nodding yes, downsizing may be the right next step. But the type of move depends on your lifestyle: A smaller home or condo may be perfect if you still want independence, privacy, and flexibility. A senior or retirement community is ideal if you value connection, convenience, and amenities like fitness classes, dining services, and on-site healthcare. Lets Talk Numbers: Is Downsizing Worth It?Heres a snapshot of the financial perks of downsizing in todays market:Lower Monthly Costs Housing payments: Based on a 2024 study from StorageCafe.com, downsizing from a 4-bedroom to a 2-bedroom home can save up to $200,000$500,000 depending on your location. Utilities: Smaller spaces mean lower bills. According to a survey conducted by Texas-based pre-paid electric company, Payless Power, nearly 20% of Americans downsize to cut energy costs. Property taxes & insurance: Historically, both of these usually decrease with a smaller, lower-valued home. Unlocking Equity Selling your current home can free up hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity. That money can be used to: Invest in income-generating accounts or annuities Pay for healthcare, travel, or family support Cover future long-term care or in-home support services Lower Maintenance = Less Stress Repairs, yard work, and home maintenance costs all shrink with smaller properties or move-in-ready communities. If you move into a retirement community, things like snow shoveling, lawn care, and even housekeeping may be included. But What About the Costs of Moving?Its a great question. Moving can come with its own expensesbut many of those are one-time costs, and theyre often far outweighed by long-term savings and improved quality of life.Partnering with a senior relocation company like WellRive takes the stress out of downsizing by handling every detaildecluttering, packing, staging, coordinating the home sale, and getting you comfortably settled into your new space. Having dedicated, experienced support during a major life transition isnt just helpfulits truly invaluable.Lets Make This Your Best Move YetDownsizing isnt about giving upits about gaining more.
