Question 1 of 13 in Long-Term Care Policy |
What kind of care is covered by long term care policies? |
 |
Covered expenses can vary from policy to policy. In a comprehensive policy, benefits are paid for services delivered in nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, adult day care centers, or at home. A non-comprehensive policy restricts the benefits to services that are provided in nursing facilities. Care is further subdivided into skilled care and custodial care. Skilled care is generally ordered by a physician under a plan of treatment, and is provided 24 hours a day. It is usually provided in a nursing home. Personal care or custodial care helps a person perform ADLs (activities of daily living) -- assistance that can be provided in almost any setting.
