Another strategy that we are considering: purchase a 20 year first-to-die term life insurance policy at around age 60 to 65. Choose a whole life product for each if you want lifelong protection, inheritance, etc. though at higher expense. If one enters a NH, you can spend down your assets to cover expenses knowing that the very vast majority who are there for > 4 months pass away there, usually by 3-4 years.
Depleted, the surviving spouse (or family) is the beneficiary of the insurance and has security for life. If neither enters a NH, you can either leave the policy in place for the heirs, or cancel it (or cash in if whole life).
Not for everyone, but makes sense for some.
