Long Term Health Care

When you or a loved one requires long term care, assuming a proper long term care insurance policy is in force, an insurance provider can assume most or all the cost of long term care, be it at home or a long term care facility or nursing home. With most long term care insurance plans, an individual purchases a "daily" amount of insurance to cover the cost of care. Depending on the age, health and circumstances of an individual, one might not be able to obtain long term care, and is then forced to self-fund, this depleting the assets of their estate. Another option is to seek government assistance. Regardless, a long term care event can equate to disaster for any retirement plan.

Although the services provided can vary from provider to provider, services covered by long term care policies can include the following:

  • Nursing Home Care - Gives resident's skilled nursing care 24 hours a day.
  • Skilled In-Home Nursing Care - In-home nurses provide skilled nursing services for you in the convenience of your own home.

  • Personal and Home Health Aides - Helps the elderly with personal care, such as bathing, eating, dressing, and taking medications.
  • Homemaker Services - Helps the elderly or disabled complete household tasks that they can't manage on their own.
  • Assisted Living Facilities - This is not an alternative to a nursing home however, these facilities provide personal care and health services for people who may need assistance with daily activities.
