Notes de l'éditeur
- Caregivers are just starting to receive more attention as our population ages and the burden of care increases. The fact is, many Canadians need care. And many Canadians are called upon to provide care while still raising their children.

- Health Care spending Increases for people over age 65. 44% of total $ spent on over age 65.
- World wide shortage of healthcare professionals 43% of total budget HC delivery is changing…delisting of services. Supreme court ruling in Quebec Copeman Healthcare Centre
- No One plans for an illness let alone the concept of LTC Distinguish between Acute and LTC
- Of course, it’s not just our senior population that is at risk. At every stage of our lives we are vulnerable to accidents and illnesses that can change the way we live.

- Needing long term care shouldn’t leave you without choices. But if you don’t plan ahead, it just might mean someone else will make these choices for you. So b efore you need care, ask yourself: • What quality of care you want • Where you want to receive care (in your own home, a retirement home, a facility?) • How your family will cope, financially and emotionally, with care giving • Whether you really want to use your savings and investments for care
- When you need money to fund long term care, there are two options: Pay for it out-of-pocket, using your savings or assets, or, if you’ve planned ahead, rely on insurance – after all, for pennies on the dollar, insurance money is always cheaper.
- At 6% interest, savings of $200,000 would grow to over $350,000 in 10 years. But monthly care costs of $2,000 could deplete these savings in the same 10 years. As you can see, the assumptions we’ve used are conservative. Care could cost significantly more than $2,000 per month and inflation for long term care services could be significantly higher than 2%. Even so, savings can be quickly depleted.
- Don’t kid yourself – becoming a caregiver will impact your life. Caregiving has its rewards, but it can also be costly. One third of caregivers incur extra expenses. Increased costs for babysitting if you’re looking after a parent and you have young children. Cell phone charges. Incidental expenses – the cost to hire someone to shovel the snow or cut the grass, prescription drugs you pick up – costs you cover off for a parent and just can’t bring yourself to recoup. At the same time your spending increases, you may lose income. One in 10 caregivers reduce their hours of work. And perhaps even more costly, your health can also suffer. One in ten caregivers report health problems. This increases to almost 3 in 10 (29%) if the caregiver provides personal care (such as bathing or toileting). Statistics Canada, 2002 General Social Survey, Cycle 16: Aging and Social Support - Tables
- Long term care insurance policies help cover the costs of long term care services when you are physically dependent (that is, you need care). Physical dependency means that you require assistance from another person to perform 2 or more of the 6 activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, feeding, toileting, transferring, continence) or if you require continual supervision because of deteriorated mental ability.
- Not all companies’ policies are designed the same. When you need care, some policies reimburse you for eligible expense you receive on a given day, up to a pre-determined maximum. Others – indemnity plans - pay a pre-determined daily benefit if you receive an eligible expense on that day. A third type of policy, the income plan, is the most flexible. It provides a pre-determined weekly benefit when you require care, and you don’t have to prove you received any eligible expenses. The income can be used to cover the cost of any type of service including care received from family members.
- You need to plan ahead not just for your own care needs, but for those of your spouse or parents. If you want to ensure that you get the care you want or that your loved ones receive care in the setting of their choice, without causing unnecessary financial – and emotional – stress, it’s important to plan ahead.
- Age 42
- Had a three foot fall and is now a quadriplegic. An even someone like Christopher Reeves who we perceive as having more money that most, went broke from his health care costs. If it wasn’t for his good friend Robin Williams (in picture) who has been paying or his care the last 6 years, he would not be where he is today in his rehabilitation.
