Long-Term Care Insurance for California—Expert Guidance in a High-Cost State

Serving California From Bay Area to San Diego

California residents face some of the highest long-term care costs in the nation. Capstone Planning Solutions is fully licensed in California and helps clients statewide—from Los Angeles to San Francisco, Sacramento to San Diego—navigate their long-term care insurance options. Even as a Colorado-based advisor, we know the California landscape, policies, and what it takes to protect your Golden State retirement.

California’s Cost of Care—The Reality Behind the Headlines

Long-term care in California is expensive. Private nursing home rooms often run $120,000 to $150,000 per year, with Bay Area and metro costs even higher. Assisted living can easily exceed $5,000 a month in major cities. Many families underestimate how quickly even healthy savings can be drained by these expenses, making proactive planning essential.

Understanding Medi-Cal, LTC Partnership & Asset Protection

Medi-Cal and Long-Term Care: Many Californians believe Medi-Cal will cover future care needs. In reality, strict asset limits apply—unless you hold a California Partnership policy. Without planning, Medi-Cal may recover costs from your estate after death.

California Partnership for Long-Term Care: This unique program allows policyholders to protect assets equal to insurance benefits paid if they ever need Medi-Cal. For every dollar your policy pays, a dollar of your assets is shielded from spend-down rules.
