The Alarming Costs of Long-Term Care

Long-term care costs vary by location, care setting and level of help. CareScout’s 2025 Cost of Care Survey reported these U.S. national median annual costs:

  • Nursing home, semi-private room: $114,975 per year.
  • Assisted living community: $74,400 per year.

Long-Term Care Insurance Help

Medicare generally does not pay for long-term custodial care, such as ongoing help with bathing, dressing or other daily activities. It may cover eligible short-term skilled nursing facility care or home health services when Medicare’s conditions are met. Those benefits differ from long-term care coverage. See Medicare’s explanation of long-term care coverage.

A long-term care insurance advisor will help you find a policy that can help cover the costs of ongoing custodial care that most families eventually need when the time comes.

What Is Long-Term Care Insurance?

Long-term care insurance is a private policy that pays for personal and custodial care in a nursing home, assisted living, memory care, or in the comfort of one’s own home when assistance is needed for activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, and similar needs) when a person can no longer manage those activities independently.

It's never too early to start thinking about your Long Term Care – especially while you're healthy and can qualify for a Long Term Care Policy.

Explore long-term care insurance in Texas with personal guidance from Medicare Moss. Understand available coverage, benefit limits, and policy terms before deciding what fits your needs.

Depending on the plan, long-term care insurance coverage may apply to:

01

Care received in a nursing home

02

Assisted living and memory care facility costs

03

In-home assistance and personal care services

Long-term care benefits and long-term care policy options vary by plan. Long-term care insurance cost depends on factors like age, health, and the type and amount of coverage selected. Reviewing your options before you need care gives you more choices and, in many cases, more affordable rates.

Another way to plan for care at home

Could short-term home care insurance fit your needs?

Long-term care insurance helps you plan for extended support. If you are looking for a shorter period of care at home, a home care or recovery care policy may be worth exploring.

✓ Weekly benefits may help pay for qualifying care at home.

✓ Some options have a simpler application and are available at older ages.

✓ Compare the benefit period, care requirements, and cost with an advisor.
