Non-medical care as we age began to be a very big need in our country as well as other countries during the 1970’s and 80’s. This coverage was soon to be known as Long Term Care, (LTC). Carriers offered as an insurance for individuals that could not perform 2 out of the 7 activities of daily living. These activities were determined to be Eating, Bathing, Dressing, Toileting, Continence, Transferring and Cognitive Impairment. The insurance was there to provide reimbursement for assistance in a facility or in the home. About 70% of people over the age of 60 will require some type of care. Today about 30% of people between the age of 18 to 64 will require some form of assistance and care that is not medically necessary.

This LTC need allowed all States to become Partners, in part due to the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. The State Partnership allows individuals to purchase a Long-Term Care plan that will reimburse them for services needed, but also allow them to protect their assets based upon the amount of coverage they purchase even if they enter a facility they would not have to use assets under protection.

Many individuals do not want to burden family members and children with their care. This insurance allows for supervision of the loved on without providing the care.

Types of Long-Term Care Insurance:

  • Traditional LTC Long-Term Care Policy
  • Hybrid LTC Long Term Care- Permanent Insurance policies with LTC Rider
