Long Term Care Insurance
Given that the cost of a nursing home is approximately $200+/day and can only be expected to increase, it is imperative to consider long term care plans for the future. Regular health insurance (ie Medicaid & Medicare) do not cover expenses that arise during your senior years. This includes assistance with personal care and support performing everyday activities. Long Term Care Insurance Coverage

How It Works Long term care insurance works exactly like other insurance policies. The insured pays a monthly premium to keep the policy active. Your policy will ensure protection from the high costs of treatment for health conditions which require long-term care.
