Can An 80 Year Old Get Long Term Care Insurance? 
The time to purchase Long Term Care is when you are healthy and in your fifties or sixties . I do not know of any company that will issue a Long Term Care Policy to an eighty year old and if there were the premium would be extremely high . There are some alternatives however . Some companies will offer Short Term Care or Home Health Care policies up to age 85 . While not as comprehensive as a full Long Term Care policy they can help with the high cost of care when needed . There are also other planning solutions that can help . A Long Term Care Resource Planner can help find a solution .
