LTCI: What It Is and How It Helps Pay for Home Care
You and your family are not alone in feeling concerned about how to cover the costs of in-home care for a senior loved one.
For the senior with home care needs that are non-medical, options like health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid will NOT cover the costs of senior care. Rather, one of the most prudent ways to financially prepare for the possibility of needing long-term care is by investing in a Long-Term Care insurance (LTCi) policy.
LTCi covers a wide variety of home care needs and situations.
- Covers in-home care
- Covers costs of assisted living
- Covers costs of skilled nursing facilities
- Covers costs of memory care communities
LTCi not only covers in-home care through home care providers, it also covers other senior care options like assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care communities. Key components to consider when purchasing an LTCi policy include the benefit amount, the benefit period and the elimination period.
