What is Long Term Care?
Long Term Care (LTC) goes beyond medical care to include all the assistance you could need if you ever have a chronic illness or disability that leaves you unable to care for yourself for an extended period of time (longer than 90 days). While older people generally require the most long-term care services, 40% of long-term care claims are paid to someone under the age of 64. A young or middle-aged person who has a debilitating illness or accident may also require care. For more information on Long Term Care watch this quick video that gives an Overview of Long Term Care
