What Is Long Term Care Insurance?
Long Term
Care Insurance (LTCI) has traditionally been thought of as nursing home
insurance. In reality, LTCI has evolved to include far broader coverage.
It covers the kind of help you need if you are unable to care for
yourself because of a prolonged illness, accident or disability. This
type of care ranges from assistance with the activities of daily living,
to home care, to 24-hour skilled, intermediate or custodial care. Most
people realize too late that their Major Medical Insurance, HMO,
Medicare or Medicare Supplement does NOT pay for Long Term Care. Long
Term Care Insurance is the logical and most efficient solution for many
people.
