Individual Long-Term Care Insurance Services

Although it may be difficult to imagine now, there may come a point in the future when you need help taking care of yourself. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Community Living, individuals turning 65 today have a 70% likelihood of needing some form of long-term care in their future, with 20% likely to need long-term care support for 20 years.

This type of care may become essential for your safety and well-being, but it can also be very expensive. Long-term care insurance is one way you can prepare for this need.

What Is Individual Long-Term Care Insurance?

This type of policy can cover the costs of care for those with a disability, disorder or chronic medical condition. It may offer coverage in your home, an assisted living facility, a nursing home or adult daycare.

Our individual long-term care policies can help pay for both medical and non-medical services that you would otherwise have to pay for out of pocket. For example, some policies cover the cost of medical equipment and home care. It can be set up to pay a fixed amount or provide reimbursement for services rendered, depending on your needs.

Many people purchase individual long-term care insurance to avoid placing the financial burden of their care on the rest of their family.

Do I Need Long-Term Care Coverage?

Basic medical insurance and disability insurance policies do not provide the type of coverage extended by long-term care insurance. Most health insurance plans will only cover approximately 30 days of recuperative time, while disability coverage replaces your salary but does not cover ongoing medical care.

Individual Long-Term Care Insurance Cost

The premium for this type of policy depends on a range of factors, including your age and health status at the time of obtaining the policy, along with the amount of coverage desired. The cost of care in your area is another factor that influences premiums.
