Long-Term Care Policy | Health Insurance GlossaryAbout half of all Americans over 65 years old will spend some time in an assisted living facility. The average yearly cost to stay in a nursing home is more than $50,000 and is expected to rise at a rapid rate. Long-term care not only refers to care in a nursing home but also describes home health services for those who can no longer take care of themselves. These people need constant medical supervision or they simple require help bathing, clothing themselves, taking medication, or eating. Many people need help paying for long-term care, and long-term care policies offer financial protection against the expense � especially since Medicare does not pay for most of the services associated with long-term care. Like life insurance, the earlier you buy a long-term care policy, the less expensive your premium payments will be and the greater the benefits you�ll receive for each dollar you spend.
