What is long-term care?

Long-term care encompasses the services to assist people who cannot perform essential daily activities on their own; things like eating, dressing, and using the bathroom. The need for such assistance is usually due to a chronic illness or degenerative condition.

Long-term care can be provided in a variety of places, whether at home or at an assisted living facility, a nursing home or other setting. It consists mostly of "custodial care," or assistance with daily activities, rather than medical care that would be covered by your health plan.

Who needs it?

It's estimated that more than 60 percent of people 65 and over will need long-term care assistance living during their lives — either at home or in a facility.¹ The cost of long-term care can range from an average of $25 per hour for a home health aide to $88 per day in an assisted living facility and $194 per day in a nursing home.²

Programs like Medicare pay for little or no long-term care expenses, and you must be impoverished to qualify for Medicaid coverage. Without a plan, potential long-term care expenses can become a significant out-of-pocket responsibility.
