Medicare does not pay for ongoing help with daily living, the kind of care most people eventually need. The right plan protects your savings and keeps the choice of where you receive care in your hands.
This is the cost most people are surprised by. Medicare and Medicare Supplement plans do not pay for long-term custodial care, the day-to-day help with bathing, dressing, eating, and getting around that many people need as they age. Medicare covers only short, skilled stays after a hospital visit, and even that is limited.
Care at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility is paid out of pocket until savings run down. Long-term and short-term care insurance is built to cover that gap so your retirement savings are not the plan.
Pays toward home care, assisted living, or nursing care once you need help with daily activities.
A lower-cost option that covers a shorter benefit period, often easier to qualify for at older ages.
Hybrid plans that include a long-term care benefit and still pay your family if you never need care.
