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 insurance covers an individual in the event that they can no longer care for themselves. LTC pays for home health care, assisted living and nursing home care usually as a person ages. These policies should be considered in your late 50s or early 60s.
