Frequently Asked Questions

What does long-term care insurance cover?

LTC insurance covers nursing home care, assisted living, home health care, and adult day care for those with chronic illnesses or disabilities.

When should I buy LTC insurance?

Most advisors recommend buying in your 50s or early 60s, before health issues develop. Premiums increase significantly with age.

How much coverage do I need?

Experts recommend $150-$300/day benefit with a 3-5 year period. Calculate based on local care costs and the likelihood of needing extended care.

Does Medicare cover long-term care?

Medicare does not cover most LTC services. It only covers limited skilled nursing or home health care after a hospital stay.

LTC vs. disability insurance?

Disability insurance replaces income. LTC insurance covers the cost of custodial care services when you need help with daily activities.
