Aging Gracefully: Plan for Long-Term Care with Confidence
What is Long Term Care?
Long-term care (LTC) is a variety of supports and services designed to help people live as independently and safely as possible when they can no longer do so on their own.
Long-term care coverage can help provide an additional stream of funds that can help pay for supplementary supports and services.
Long-term care isn't just a place
Ensure Your Care, Your Way: Explore Long-Term Care Options
Many people assume long-term care takes place in a nursing home. While some does, most long-term care starts in a home-based setting. With planning, you can increase the options and flexibility if you ever need long-term care, including the funds to pay for services such as:
Home Care
Receive care in the comfort of your own home or the home of a family member or friend.
Community Living
Pay for caregiving facilities such as adult day care and continuing care retirement communities for individuals who are active and able to live on their own.
Facility Care
Fund options for assisted living or full custodial care services.
