"Long term care" refers to the help that people with chronic illnesses, disabilities or other conditions need on a daily basis over an extended period of time. The type of help needed can vary from assistance with simple activities (such as bathing, dressing and eating) to skilled care that's provided by nurses, therapists or other professionals.

"Benefit triggers" are the conditions that must exist before benefits begin.  Typically, one will start getting benefits when help is needed with two or more Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s). Requiring assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, toileting and ambulation are the most common ADL’s.

Gentle Home Services is a big proponent of Long Term Care Insurance and we work with several of the top brokers in the Chicago area. Gentle Home Services is an approved provider of every major Long Term Care Insurance company.
