  What Is Long-Term Care?

Longterm care addresses a wide range of health and supportive services for people who may have cognitive impairment or who are unable to accomplish certain activities of daily living over a long period of time (90 days or more). These include activities such as dressing, bathing or eating.

Long-term care services can be provided in a variety of settings, including your home, assisted care facilities or nursing homes.

Options

Self-insure. This means you would pay-as-you-go and "spend down" your own assets when you require assistance. The danger is that this money you've worked for all of your life—your savings and investments nest egg—could be gone in a very short time.

Rely on help from friends and family members. This involves many complications, including their time, their skills, their physical strength, their financial ability to help you, the emotional toll on both the caregiver and the receiver, and the challenge of geographic distances.

Fortunately, there are options like longterm care insurance policies that help protect you and your assets.
