Unless I misunderstood badly, my TIAA policy is guaranteed against premium increases. The company recently went into for-profit status and may offer policies to those not in education. If they don't, there must be some other company that does.

My mother dropped a policy when the premium went from an initial $2,000 a year to something like $16,000. It would have been better to go on paying the premium as it turned out. Her care expenses in her final years were running close to $50,000 a year and went a long way towards totally depleting her assets.

OT: On Long Term Care also be aware that if you drop dead and never use it or Medicare adds LTC coverage (unlikely) you will never get anything out of the policy.
