Plan for the Care You May Need in the Future

As people live longer, the likelihood of needing assistance with daily activities increases. Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance can help protect your savings, retirement income, and family from the potentially significant costs of extended care services.

Long-term care coverage is designed to help pay for services that may be needed due to aging, chronic illness, injury, cognitive impairment, or other conditions that affect a person's ability to perform everyday activities independently.

What Is Long-Term Care Insurance?

Long-Term Care Insurance helps cover the cost of care and support services that traditional health insurance, Medicare, or disability insurance may not fully cover.

These services may include assistance with activities such as:

  • Bathing
  • Dressing
  • Eating
  • Transferring
  • Toileting
  • Continence management
  • Memory care and supervision

Coverage can help pay for care received at home, in assisted living facilities, adult day care centers, or nursing homes, depending on the policy.

Nursing Home Coverage

  • Private or semi-private rooms
  • Skilled nursing services
