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 premiums are based on your age and the condition of your health when you purchase a policy. Assume a person is in good health. Consider that the average nursing home stay is 2Â½ to 3 years. It should be no surprise that a survey of several top insurance companies shows the average long-term care policy purchased contains these benefits: 1  4-year benefit period (equal to $219,000; $150 per day X 1,460 days). 2  $150 per day benefit (translates to a $4,500 per month benefit; $150 X 30 days).
