Long-term care is one of the biggest financial wildcards in retirement. Even if you’re healthy now, there’s a good chance you or a loved one will eventually need extra care — costs can skyrocket fast. That’s why we use Waterlily, an AI-driven prediction and planning tool that helps you see your potential care path long before it’s urgent.
According to government data, the majority of those over age 65 will face at least some LTC needs in their lifetime.
Costs for home health aides, assisted living, or nursing facilities can escalate quickly, jeopardizing retirement savings.
If no plan is in place, adult children or spouses often become unpaid caregivers, leading to emotional and financial stress.
Knowing you have a roadmap — whether it’s through insurance, self-funding, or a combination — allows you to focus on enjoying retirement without constant “what-if” worries.
Curious About Your LTC Outlook? Let’s schedule a quick chat or get started with Waterlily—no cost, no obligation.
Instantly model your future LTC requirements, from early in-home assistance to full-time care.
Get region-specific cost estimates to ensure realistic budgeting.
Understand how much care might be provided by relatives—and whether more professional help is likely needed.
Evaluate everything from long-term care insurance and life/LTC hybrids to annuities and self-funding strategies.
Most of us will require some level of care at some point. Having a plan spares you and your loved ones from rushed decisions later.
Medicare covers limited, short-term skilled nursing or rehab—not the extended custodial care many seniors need. That’s where private planning comes in.
That’s often the best time to plan, when coverage is more affordable and you can choose from more options.
Costs vary by location and care level. Waterlily personalizes estimates to your ZIP code, but it’s not unusual to see six-figure total costs.
After you complete the intake (3–4 minutes), we usually review and share your results within a day or two.
Absolutely. Waterlily shows whether your existing policy is sufficient for your predicted care needs—or if you might need additional coverage.
Even robust savings can be depleted by the high costs of prolonged care. By planning in advance—whether through insurance, annuities, or dedicated funds—you safeguard your nest egg and maintain independence.
While no projection is perfect, Waterlily’s models draw on over 500 million data points, making them far more personalized than generic averages or standard Monte Carlo simulations.
LTC planning is flexible. We regularly review updates in your health, budget, or life situation. If something major shifts, we can adjust the plan to keep it aligned with your new reality.
