    What New York retirees ask us about most

    Retirees in New York

    New York retirees face some of the highest long-term care costs in the country, which makes protection planning as important as growth.

    Medicare in New York

    State tax and plan details are general information, not tax or legal advice, and can change. Product availability varies by state and carrier.

    Long-term care in New York

    Eligibility notes for New York families

    New York is the most expensive long-term care market in the country, with New York City nursing home rooms often exceeding $15,000 a month. Medicaid Managed Long Term Care requires a spend-down and an assessment, and the state has been tightening home care eligibility and look-back rules.

    Medicare does not pay for ongoing custodial care in New York or anywhere else. The choice is paying out of pocket, using long-term care insurance or a hybrid life policy with a care rider, adding a care benefit to an annuity, or spending down to Medicaid.
