Long Term Care Insurance
Your future shouldn’t become a burden on your family
Long-term care insurance helps cover the cost of extended care if you ever need help with everyday activities - whether that’s at home, in an assisted living facility, or in a nursing home. It’s designed to protect your savings, your independence, and your loved ones from the financial and emotional strain that can come with long-term care.
WHAT IT IS
Long-term care insurance is a policy you purchase for yourself (or a loved one) to help cover the cost of extended care if it’s ever needed. This includes assistance with everyday activities like bathing, dressing, or mobility—whether care is provided at home, in an assisted living facility, or in a nursing home.

Depending on the policy, benefits can be used to pay for:
- In-home care or home health aides
- Assisted living facilities
- Nursing home care
- Adult day care services
- Specialized care for conditions like Alzheimer’s or dementia
WHY IT IS USEFUL:
- Helps protect your savings and retirement assets
- Gives you more options and control over the type of care you receive
- Reduces the financial and emotional burden on your family
- Covers services that traditional health insurance and Medicare typically don’t
- Helps you maintain independence and quality of life as you age
The amount of coverage you need depends on factors like your age, health, family history, and the type of care you’d want in the future. And like other types of insurance, the cost of coverage varies based on when you purchase a policy and your overall health.
If you want to plan ahead, protect your assets, and make sure you have options later in life, long-term care insurance is an important piece of the puzzle.
