Long Term Care
What is Long Term Care Insurance
Getting older comes with its challenges and we Americans are living longer than ever. Most of us will need some extra help with everyday activities. 70% of people turning 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives. Long-term care is the kind of care you need if you are not able to perform normal daily activities without help: eating, dressing, transferring, and bathing. It can provide care in your home, adult or elder daycare, an assisted living facility, or a nursing home.
Incidents that bring rise to needing long-term care:
Car accident
Sports accident
Disabling injury
Alzheimer’s
Stroke
Multiple sclerosis
Parkinson’s
Other disabling condition
Old age
