What is Long Term Care?
LTC is a wide range of medical and support services for people who need assistance in taking care of themselves. The support is given in a variety of settings--nursing homes, assisted living communities, adult daycare facilities, as well as home health care services. In fact, according to the American Association for Long Term Care Insurance, 43% of all LTC benefits were paid to home care programs last year.
Who Pays for Long Term Care?
Most people are surprised to find that Medicare and Medicaid do not cover (or cover on a limited basis) the cost for long term care. Nearly half the cost of long term care is paid by private insurance or from personal savings.
How Much does LTC Insurance Cost?
