I'm just wondering if there is truth in this statement, that women will most likely need long term care services compared to men. I'm a woman in my early 40's, healthy and I don't have family history. I just want to know if planning for care should be a pressing concern for me.- Re: Do women have a higher need for ... sowens

This is a reply to # 2,136,558Yes it's true that women need long term care more than men and this is because of their life span. Based on the statistics found on http://www.ltcoptions.com,
life expectancy of women is 80.5 while it's 75.9 for men. Since they are expected to live much longer, then their demand for long term care would be higher. This only shows that this should be one of your concerns from now, you should start planning for care as soon as possible and consider purchasing long term care insurance.

It is true. Naturally, women live longer so they age longer and the need for long term care insurance tantamounts to a certain degree. On average, women live five to seven years longer than men. Since this is the case, they are more likely to need long term care for extensive periods of time.
