What is Long-Term Care Insurance?
Long-Term Care Insurance helps cover the cost of care not typically covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. It's designed for individuals who need assistance with everyday activities due to aging, illness, or disability. This can include in-home care, assisted living, or nursing home care. The goal is to provide financial protection and peace of mind for you and your loved ones, ensuring that long-term care needs are met without depleting personal savings or assets.
