What is Long-Term Care?

Long-term care is the day-in, day-out assistance you might need if an illness or disability lasts a long time and leaves you unable to care for yourself. This may or may not include a nursing home stay. In other words it is a continuum of services that can be provided in a variety of settings ranging from one’s own home, assisted living facility, adult day care facility or a nursing home. Long-term care covers a broad spectrum of care and services ranging from basic personal care to medical care.

Long Term Care Insurance North Carolina Shopping Tips

  • Shop around for an insurance agent and an insurance company–ask friends, family or neighbors if they recommend their insurance agent or company.
  • Ask insurance agents which insurance company’s products they sell; most agents only sell products from a few companies. Compare several different products from several different insurance companies. You might need to talk with several different agents.
  • Carefully compare the benefits and restrictions between policies.
  • Most LTC insurance premiums increase over time. Carefully evaluate whether premium payments over a long period could be a financial hardship.
  • Never pay insurance premiums in cash; do not make checks payable to the insurance agent.
  • Read your policy carefully and ask follow up questions.
  • Use your 30-day “Free Look” period to return a policy for a full refund if you are not satisfied!
  • Understand what a Long Term Care Partnership (LTCPP) policy is, how it differs from non-LTCPP policies, and whether it is affordable for you.
