Many families are not aware that for the
 senior with non-medical home care needsoptions like health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid will NOT cover the costs of senior care. Instead, 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 the costs of in-home care 
  • Covers the costs of assisted living

LTCi not only covers in-home care delivered by non-medical home care providers like Amada Senior Care, it also covers other senior care options like assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care communities.
