A life settlement for long-term care involves selling a life insurance policy to fund assisted living, nursing home, home health care, or other long-term care expenses.
Long-Term Care
The average cost of a private nursing home room exceeds $100,000 per year. Assisted living averages $54,000. Most people aren't prepared.
If you have a life insurance policy you no longer need, selling it can provide a significant lump sum to fund the care you or a loved one needs.

You traded future death benefit protection for current quality-of-life funding. For many families, that's the right call.
A life insurance policy purchased years ago — when protecting young dependents was the priority — may no longer serve that purpose. But it still has real market value. Institutional buyers pay for that value today, giving you the resources to fund care without depleting other savings or assets.
Assisted living
Monthly fees, memory care units, and specialized amenities that allow for a dignified quality of life.
Skilled nursing facilities
24-hour care for complex medical needs. Settlement proceeds can fund years of coverage.
In-home support
Aides, therapists, and home modifications that allow you or a loved one to age in place comfortably.
Bridge funding
Covering the gap while Medicaid eligibility is established or other assets are accessed.

We'll evaluate your policy at no cost and tell you honestly whether a settlement makes sense for your situation. No pressure, no obligation.
Yes. If you need funds for long-term care — assisted living, nursing home, or home health care — selling a life insurance policy you no longer need can provide a significant lump-sum payment.
Settlement amounts vary, but most pay 4–7x the cash surrender value. For a $500,000 face value policy, this could mean $100,000–$200,000+ toward care expenses.
