Planning Information and Resources
Information about long-term care planning is available from many sources.
 
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) "A Shopper's Guide to Long-Term Care Insurance"  publication in PDF format.  This document is free for downloading and sharing in English or Spanish here:  http://www.michigan.gov/documents/cis_ofis_ltcshop_23739_7.pdf 

Contact your state or local department on aging: Look for “aging” or “human services” in your local government blue pages of the phone book for the number. Specific resources to ask for include State Health Insurance Assistance Programs, and in many states Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs).
 
Your State Insurance Department will have information about long-term care insurance in your area. They also often offer a shoppers' guide to long-term care insurance.
 
The Administration on Aging's national Eldercare Locator (1-800- 677-1116, weekdays 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (ET)) provides information including where to find specific services and supports in your community.
