long-term care insurance

Nursing home policy

Long-term care insurance covers expenses for extended care that regular health insurance doesn't—nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and in-home care for people who can no longer perform daily activities independently.

Policies typically kick in when someone needs help with basic tasks like bathing, dressing, or eating: She's glad her parents bought long-term care insurance before the dementia diagnosis.
