Life Care
Making Sure Your Care Is Covered

You may be wondering why you should be considering a senior living community that offers a Life Care Type A contract, particularly if you have health insurance and Medicare. Many individuals looking at senior living communities assume that their healthcare insurance and Medicare will cover their long-term care costs, including assisted living services, skilled nursing, and memory care.

In reality, healthcare insurance doesn’t cover any long-term care. What’s more, healthcare insurance, including Medicare, does not cover housing. Many do not cover assisted living services, skilled nursing or memory care, or offer limited coverage for those levels of care.

It’s important to understand what exactly your healthcare insurance will and will not cover, to protect your assets and ensure you receive the level of care you need today and tomorrow.
