Long Term Care (LTC)
Long-term care insurance is a type of insurance that can help pay for services that assist with daily activities and long-term care needs:
- Activities of daily living: Such as eating, bathing, dressing, and using the restroom
- Supervision and protection: Including reminders to take medicine
- Care settings: Such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, adult day care centers, and in-home care
- Other services: Such as hospice care, respite care, memory care, and caregiver training.
Long-term care insurance is different from traditional health insurance, which focuses on treating illnesses. Long-term care insurance can help cover the cost of care that's not usually covered by traditional health insurance. Nearly 70% of Americans who turn 65 will need some long-term care and support.
