I'm looking at my family's overall health and financial wellness and decided that I should probably add a LTC policy for everyone in the family; however, I can't seem to find anyone who offers such coverage for minor children under 18 years. Any assistance in pointing me the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I represent 8 carriers. None of them will offer actual Long Term Care Insurance prior to age 18. Most states prohibit underwriting prior to age 18 and the risk is very high for a company to take on coverage with a child that could have some type of terminal illness. Now you may be thinking of a hospital indemnity policy instead of LTC. This will pay a cash benefit per each day spent in the hospital. State Farm actually offers this pretty easily. Hope this helps.

I guess long term care insurance is meant to serve senior citizens. It is expensive and there's no point in paying towards LTC for minors.

The issuance of long term care insurance is governed under state laws. I am not aware of any state that allows LTCI to be offered to anyone under age 18 or later than age 84.
