What is long-term care?
Long-term care is the help needed to cope - and sometimes survive – when chronic conditions of aging (such as arthritis, heart disease, stroke and memory loss) impair your capacity to perform the basic activities of daily living. It includes a broad range of supportive medical, personal, and social services that can be provided in your own home, a nursing home, an adult day care facility, or in an assisted living/residential care facility.
How can Long-Term Care Insurance help?
With a long-term illness, the need for ongoing care can often outlast the benefits of private insurance and Medicare. Having Long-Term Care (LTC) insurance can make all the difference. You should consider this type of policy to help protect your income and assets, help obtain quality care, avoid burdening your family with extensive caregiving responsibilities, and to avoid dependence on government programs for care.
How do I choose a Long-Term Care policy?
SAMBA has researched the Long-Term Care Insurance marketplace and we have learned that not all policies and carriers are equal – nor is Long-Term Care Insurance a “one size fits all” product. That is why SAMBA is pleased to endorse Forrest T. Jones & Company (FTJ) as its broker for Long-Term Care Insurance programs.
