Individual Long-Term Care Insurance


Long-Term Care is the type of care received either at home or in a facility, when someone needs assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and dressing due to an accident, an illness or advancing age.

Rising life expectancy means that the potential need for "long-term care" grows with every passing year of your life. The likelihood is that you or a member of your family will need long-term assistance due to a prolonged illness, a disability, or general deterioration of your health and ability to perform routine daily activities. 

Most long term care expenses are not covered by Social Security or Medicare, Medicare Supplement ("Medigap"), or private health insurance. Medicaid pays for nearly half of all nursing home care, but you must meet federal poverty guidelines and may have to "spend down" most of your assets on health care.

The goal for long term care services is to provide assistance and improve the quality of life for those with chronic, long-term conditions or severe cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s disease. A comprehensive long term care insurance policy may provide coverage for long term care needs in the home, community-based settings, an assisted living facility or nursing home.

The need for long term care can happen to anyone at any time and it may result from being chronically ill or having a cognitive impairment. However, something as unexpected as an accident or injury could also trigger the need.

  1. It is certainly possible to identify a affordable AIG lasting attention insurance coverage. Initial, we should learn more in relation to AIG/American Normal and see when they may be a clever option for the lasting attention insurance Agents policies needs.
