Long term care is a range of services and supports you may need to meet your personal care needs. Most long term care is not medical care, but rather assistance with basic personal tasks of everyday life, such as bathing, dressing and eating. It can also help provide assistance for taking medication, shopping for groceries and even caring for your pets. This care can be provided in the home, community, assisted living facilities or in nursing homes.
Medicare only provides this coverage for 100 days. Most health insurance plans only coverage temporary, very short-term coverage. For these reasons, it is very important that you consider this additional coverage. Keep in mind, the earlier you purchase the coverage, the less expensive it is.
