Traditional Long-Term Care Insurance
Long Term Care (LTC) Insurance is coverage that provides nursing-home care, home-health care, and personal or adult daycare for individuals that are not able to perform two out of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADL) or suffer from a severe cognitive impairment. LTC insurance offers more flexibility and options than many public assistance programs, such as Medicaid.
Hybrid Long Term-Care Insurance
Rather than purchasing two separate policies — a life insurance policy and a long term care policy — you can own a single product, to be used for life insurance protection and to help pay for long term care services. A Long Term Care Rider can be added to certain types of our life insurance. This rider gives you access to money from a part of your life insurance policy during your lifetime if you’re receiving long term care services as a result of a chronic illness.
