🟦 Long-Term Care (LTC) insurance is a type of insurance that helps cover the cost of care when you can no longer perform basic activities of daily living (ADLs) on your own due to aging, illness, or disability.

---

🛏️ What It Covers:

It typically pays for services such as:

• ✅ Home care (help with bathing, dressing, eating, etc.)
• ✅ Assisted living facility
• ✅ Nursing home care
• ✅ Adult day care
• ✅ Memory care for Alzheimer’s/dementia

---

🧑‍🦼 When It Kicks In:

You generally qualify for benefits when you can’t perform 2 out of 6 ADLs:

1. Bathing
2. Dressing
3. Eating
4. Toileting
5. Transferring (e.g., getting out of bed)
6. Continence

---

💲 Why It Matters:

• Medicare doesn’t cover long-term custodial care
• Without LTC insurance, these costs come out-of-pocket
  (Average nursing home cost: $90K+ per year in the U.S.)
