Note: ACSIA Partners is not issuing any new policies at this time. Existing policies are still in effect. This page will be updated when information on available long-term care benefits becomes available.

Long-term care is the term for helping people who develop disabilities or chronic care needs. For example, there may come a time when you or a loved one needs help walking, getting dressed, eating, or bathing. It also includes the kind of care you would need if you had a severe cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer's disease. Long-term care services may be brief with full recovery, or they can continue for years. Services may be provided in a person’s home, in a residential facility such as a nursing home or assisted living facility. 

A long-term care insurance policy will pay benefits for services you receive at home (such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, grooming and assistance with other activities of daily living), or in an assisted living facility and in a nursing home if a situation requires more intensive attention on a daily basis.
