What Is Long Term Home Care?
Long-Term Care Insurance is designed to help eligible policyholders pay for services needed because of aging, chronic illness, cognitive impairment, mobility limitations, or difficulty completing everyday activities independently.
Depending on the individual policy and eligibility requirements, benefits may help cover home care services such as assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility, companionship, supervision, and other activities of daily living.
Using Long-Term Care Insurance benefits can help families:
- Reduce out-of-pocket home care expenses
- Access professional support at home
- Preserve savings and other financial resources
- Increase care as a loved one’s needs change
- Give family caregivers additional support and peace of mind
- Help a loved one remain in familiar surroundings longer
Coverage, benefit amounts, waiting periods, and eligibility requirements vary by policy. Our team can help you take the first steps toward determining how your benefits may apply to home care.
We Accept All Major Long-Term Care Insurance Plans
Life’s At Home Care works with clients who have coverage through all major Long-Term Care Insurance providers.
Every policy is different. Some plans reimburse the policyholder directly, while others may have specific documentation, eligibility, or billing requirements. Before services begin, we can help you review the information available and identify what may be needed to initiate your claim.
Even when a policy was purchased many years ago, it may include valuable home care benefits that can help make professional care more affordable.
