The first step is to consider the purchase of long-term care insurance...Since these polices come with "concierge" services to find appropriate caregivers, this is a must-do for women who are alone...The time to buy is in your late 50s or early 60s, when costs are lower and you're healthy enough to qualify.

I was convinced that I had enough money to self-insure, but saw the advantage of leveraging my money with Long-Term care insurance. Long-Term care insurance protects what I have worked so hard to earn.

…LTCi is like disability
insurance for your retirement
Long-term care insurance costs less over time, buying now than buying equivalent coverage in the future. The 20 year total cost of buying now is less than the 19 year total cost of buying next year, or the 18 year cost of the next year, and so on.
Take time to deliberate, but when the time for ACTION arrives, stop thinking and go in.
Andrew Jackson
