   In my opinion, it's never too late. The average age that people buy is 57. However, even if the price is high, get as much coverage as you can afford. You buy a maximum dollar amount per day. So if you can't afford to buy (for example) $165/day, then buy $80/day. Remember, most Long Term Care claims aren't for nursing homes - they are for care you receive in YOUR home. In other words, you may hire a service to come to your home 3-4 hours/day to cook meals, do laundry, etc. And that may only cost $80/day...
