Long-Term Care Insurance Planning in Cherry Hill and South Jersey

I live and work in Cherry Hill. The families I sit with are from Haddonfield, Voorhees, Marlton, Mount Laurel, Moorestown, and across the river in the Philadelphia area — and the question is almost always the same: what happens to us if one of us needs care?

Four things South Jersey families should know before they plan

Care in South Jersey isn't cheap

Home health aides, assisted living, and nursing facilities across Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties are generally priced above the national average. Before you assume a number, check current figures for the Philadelphia metro area in the Genworth/CareScout Cost of Care survey and ask local facilities directly.

New Jersey Medicaid has a five-year look-back

NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid long-term services review asset transfers made in the five years before an application. Gifting the house to the kids the month care starts usually creates a penalty period, not protection. Planning years ahead is what preserves choices.

Medicare is not the answer people expect

Medicare generally does not pay for ongoing custodial long-term care. Limited skilled-nursing or home-health coverage may be available when specific eligibility requirements are met.

New Jersey has a Partnership program

New Jersey participates in the Long-Term Care Partnership Program, which lets qualifying policies protect a matching amount of assets if Medicaid is ever needed. Whether a specific policy qualifies depends on the product and its inflation feature — we check it before you apply.

Important — educational illustration only

The figures shown are hypothetical and produced by a simplified model for education and discussion only. They are not a quote, projection, recommendation, or guarantee of future results. Actual outcomes vary based on your individual circumstances — including age, health, income, tax filing status, state of residence, time horizon, market performance, product design, carrier underwriting, and changes in tax law. Tax-advantaged strategies referenced (e.g., Roth conversions, cash value loans, qualified plan withdrawals) carry rules and consequences that depend on your specific situation; cash value life insurance assumes the contract is properly structured (non-MEC) and remains in force.
