It’s impossible to predict what amount of care you will need as you grow older. With long-term continuing care insurance, you can manage this unknown by protecting yourself against the risk of future of out-of-pocket expenses for nursing home care, assisted living facilities, and more.
What Is Long-Term Continuing Care Insurance?
Long-term continuing care is a range of services that includes medical and nursing care if you ever have a chronic illness or disability that leaves you unable to care for yourself for an extended period of time.
Long-term care can be expensive. Medicare pays only a small portion of short-term nursing home or at-home care following a hospitalization. Health insurance only pays your doctor or hospital bills if you get sick or injured. In general, those who need long-term care are financially responsible to pay the bills.
Did You Know?
Nearly 70% of individuals over the age of 65 will need some level of long-term care? And, more than 40% will go into a nursing home during their lifetime.*
