Insurance for Long-Term Care
Long-Term Care Insurance helps cover the cost of ongoing personal care services if you’re no longer able to perform basic daily activities due to aging, illness, or disability.
If you are unable to take care of yourself and require help managing everyday life activities, long-term care insurance may be able to cover you. Anyone can benefit from long-term care insurance; it’s not just for the elderly. Additionally, this plan gives you greater control over your future and less financial strain on your family.
Estimating long-term care expenditures is the most difficult part of predicting or obtaining insurance against them. A person may be healthy until they are 100 years old and fall asleep without waking up, or they may have a chronic illness at a young age that necessitates more help than their family and government can provide, resulting in large out-of-pocket expenses.
You can get assistance from long-term care insurance for costs like:
- Nursing assistance
- Therapy and rehabilitation
- Personal care (assistance with everyday tasks such as eating, dressing, and taking a shower)
- Home care services (cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation)
- supervision by a different person
