What is long term care?

Long Term Care does not always mean medical care, it can mean just basic custodial care as well - having someone take care of you or helping you do the things you would normally do but need assistance with. You can get individual attention with a home health care worker on a daily basis.

Here's an example of what long term care means...

You wake up in the morning, get out of bed and go to the bathroom to wash your face, brush your teeth, use the toilet and take a shower. Then you make yourself breakfast and get dressed. Now you are ready to start your day. Now, most of us can do this without any aid and we probably take it for granted that we can do this basic things everyday.

But, when you're older or disabled, it becomes harder and harder to just manage doing these basic things.

And when you're not able to function on a day to day basis, you need long term care. And since most of us are living longer, we will need long term care for an extended period of time.

This kind of care, especially home health care, is not cheap. It can easily cost between $100-$300 a day depending on the type of care you need.

Most people do not have enough money saved up for retirement to afford paying $100 a day for assisted living for an extended period of time.

This is where long term care insurance comes in. It can help you and your parents alleviate the costs of long term care.
