15-Long Term Care Ins. Providers
The
following is a list of companies that offer long-term
care insurance. If you would like
to know more about local insurance companies please call ELDirect In-Home Senior
Care.
A long-term-care
insurance policy enables you to transfer a portion of the economic liability
of long-term care to an insurance company in exchange for regular premiums.
Long-term-care
insurance can pay for skilled, intermediate, and custodial nursing care. Some
policies even pay for home health care. It can help protect your family from the
potentially devastating cost of a long-term disability or chronic illness.
Long-Term-Care
Riders on Life Insurance
A number of
insurance companies have added long-term-care riders to several life insurance
contracts. For an additional fee, these riders will provide a benefit —
usually a percentage of the face value — to help cover the cost of long-term
care. (Information provided by MetLife Financial Services)
