Frequently Asked Questions
Most long-term care insurance plans include an elimination period, which is essentially a waiting period before your benefits begin. Instead of being tied to how much money you spend, it’s typically based on the number of days you receive care, often 30, 60, or 90 days.
For example:
If you have a 90-day elimination period and receive 4 hours of care per day for 10 days, those 10 days count toward the requirement. You would have 80 days remaining before your policy begins paying for services.

Beginning care sooner can be financially beneficial. Even if you only need a few hours a day at first, those days still build toward your elimination period. By the time your care needs increase and costs rise, you may have already satisfied the waiting period, allowing your long-term care insurance to start covering the expenses when you need the most support.
Long-term care insurance helps reduce the cost of care, but it doesn’t guarantee unlimited coverage. Every policy has daily, monthly, or lifetime caps. Once those limits are reached, any additional costs become your responsibility.
Planning ahead is key. Starting care earlier or using benefits strategically can stretch your coverage and reduce the risk of exhausting your policy too soon. Home care is often more cost-effective than facility-based care, but the best approach depends on each person’s needs and goals.

No. Long-term care insurance benefits apply only to the individual who is insured under the policy. They cannot be used for a spouse, partner, or other family members. If both spouses hold their own policies, each person can use their individual coverage when needed.
Yes. Many policies allow benefits to be used across a variety of care environments simultaneously, including home care, assisted living, independent living, and memory care communities. Home care can be an excellent supplement for those who want to remain in their current living situation while receiving additional support.
Because coverage varies by plan, we’re happy to review your policy and help you understand the options available.
