What is long-term care insurance?

Long-term care refers to the help people may need with everyday activities — like bathing, dressing, or getting around — when age, illness, or injury makes them harder to manage alone. This care can be provided at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility.

Long-term care insurance is designed to help cover these costs, which are often not covered by traditional health insurance or Original Medicare.

Protect savings

Without a plan, extended-care costs often come from savings — or fall to family. Coverage protects both your independence and your loved ones.
