Benefit Choices of Comprehensive Long Term Care Insurance


An important aspect of a long term care insurance policy is where the policy will pay for services. Certain policies will only offer coverage for facility-based services such as in a nursing home. There are policies that will only pay for care in the home.

A comprehensive policy will pay for assisted care in the home as well as in a facility. Often individuals in need of care will begin with assistance in the home to remain independent as long as possible. Over time, when assistance is no longer adequate, a placement in a facility may be required. The policy and coverage would follow the individual.

The following types of care are standard features found in most comprehensive long-term care insurance policies:

  • Nursing Home Facilities
  • Assisted Living Facilities (aka: Residential Care Facilities)
  • Home Health Care
  • Adult daycare
  • Respite care
