In this episode you will learn: - That standard health insurance and Medicare do not cover long-term custodial care, creating the need for LTC insurance. - The distinction between the three levels of care: Skilled (24/7 medical professional), Intermediate (intermittent skilled care), and Custodial (help with ADLs). - Why custodial care, assistance with Activities of Daily Living like bathing and dressing, is the most common type of long-term care. - The different settings where LTC services can be delivered, including nursing homes, assisted living, home health care, and adult day care. - A simple mnemonic, 'S-I-C' (Skilled, Intermediate, Custodial), to remember the levels of care from highest to lowest medical intensity.
