Long Term Care Insurance-What Does it Cover?

Long Term Care Insurance

If you assist an elderly relative or friend you might learn that they have a long term care insurance policy.  LTC insurance can be very helpful in paying for skilled nursing, in home care, etc. but there are a number of potentially confusing criteria that must be met to make a successful claim.  Familiarizing yourself with the terms of your loved one's LTC policy (they vary) can be quite helpful as you consider how care for that loved one.

A Geriatric Care Manager can be very helpful in assisting you through this process.  For information, call Nancy Carey, RN, at (847) 295-3811.
