Consider again the earlier example. The VAR for a single loan is $2 million. The expected shortfall from a single loan when the time horizon is one year and the confidence level is 99% is, therefore, the expected loss on the loan, conditional on a loss greater than $2 million.
Long-term care is a range of services and supports you may need to meet your personal care needs. Most long-term care is not medical care, but rather assistance with the basic personal tasks of everyday life, sometimes called Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) , such as: 1  Bathing. 2  Dressing. 3  Using the toilet. 4  Transferring (to or from bed or chair).
Long-term care benefits and inflation. Since many people purchase long-term care insurance 10, 20 or 30 years before receiving benefits, inflation protection is an important option to consider. Indexing to inflation allows the daily benefit you choose to keep up with the rising cost of care.
