Long-term care insurance for future peace of mind
Plan ahead for the care you may need
Long-term care insurance helps individuals and families prepare for future healthcare and support needs that may not be covered by traditional health insurance or Medicare. At Tate Insurance Group, we help clients explore long-term care options that can help protect savings, preserve independence, and provide access to quality care when it is needed most.
Understanding long-term care coverage
Long-term care insurance is designed to help cover the cost of assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, and mobility. Coverage may help pay for care received in a nursing home, assisted living facility, adult day care center, or even in your own home. Our team helps you compare policy options and understand how different plans may fit into your overall financial strategy.
Why long-term care planning matters
Many families are surprised by the cost of extended care services. Planning ahead can help reduce the financial burden on loved ones while providing more flexibility when care decisions need to be made.

Common questions about long-term care insurance
What does long-term care insurance cover?
Long-term care insurance can help pay for services related to daily living activities, including home care, assisted living, adult day care, and nursing home care, depending on the policy.
Does Medicare cover long-term care?
Medicare may cover certain short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation services, but it generally does not cover extended custodial care. Long-term care insurance can help address those gaps.

Many people begin exploring coverage in their 50s or early 60s, before health conditions develop that could affect eligibility or premiums.
Can I receive care at home instead of in a facility?
Many long-term care policies provide benefits for qualified in-home care services, allowing individuals to remain in familiar surroundings when appropriate.
How much long-term care insurance do I need?
Coverage needs vary based on your assets, retirement goals, family situation, and preferences for future care. We can help evaluate options based on your circumstances.
Can long-term care insurance help protect my retirement savings?
Yes. Many people purchase long-term care insurance to help offset future care expenses that could otherwise impact retirement assets and financial plans.
