Long-term care insurance helps seniors pay the costs of seniorcare. When your loved one is deciding which policy is best for them, they should consult their broker. Depending on a policy, they could have a waiting period before they can access their funds.  Many policies have an elimination period.  If your parent has a 90 day elimination period, they will have to pay the full cost of those first 90 days. 

Premiums on long-term care insurance policies increase over time. For policies that don’t have fixed rates, companies can raise the premiums for everyone in a rate class. It doesn’t matter if your loved one’s health might have changed. Make sure your loved one understands any limitations or coverage gaps in their plan. They should know exactly what is and isn’t covered by their insurance policy before the purchase it. Policies define eligibility for benefits in various ways. Make sure your loved one understand how their insurer defines activities of daily living and the disabilities that interfere with them. In almost every case a licensed health care provider has to confirm that senior requires help with two or more daily tasks for 90 days or longer.
