Let Us Help You Navigate Through Your Long-Term Care Insurance Policy

Planning for the future is a crucial step in ensuring a comfortable and secure life as we age. Long-term care insurance plays a vital role in this plan, providing financial assistance for extended care services. Navigating through the complexities of long-term care insurance policies may seem daunting. That’s where we come in. Safe Harbor Home Care is here to help you. We will break down the key terms and concepts to help you better understand and make informed decisions.

Understanding the Basics

Long-term care insurance is designed to support you financially when you require extended care due to chronic illness, disability, or aging. It covers services like home care, assisted living, and nursing home care, offering a safety net for expenses not typically covered by regular health insurance or Medicare.

Breaking Down the Terminology

1. Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Basic self-care tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and transferring. Many long-term care insurance policies use ADLs to determine eligibility for benefits.
2. Elimination Period: The waiting period before your insurance coverage begins paying for your long-term care expenses. It’s essentially a deductible measured in days.
3. Benefit Triggers: The conditions or criteria that must be met to start receiving benefits. This often includes the inability to perform a certain number of ADLs or cognitive impairment.
4. Inflation Protection: An optional feature that helps your coverage keep pace with rising care costs over time.
