When seniors age, the need for consistent, compassionate care becomes increasingly important. Some families may consider hourly home care or assisted living facilities, but sometimes 24/7 or Live-In Care may be needed for the next level of support and care.

As seniors age, the need for assistance with daily activities often increases. For many families, home care is the preferred option, allowing loved ones to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving the support they need. Oftentimes, the cost of home care is much too great, and the care needs have to be utilized outside of the home. Using Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) can be a valuable resource in covering the cost of in-home care, ensuring seniors receive quality assistance without placing a financial burden on their families.
