Various insurers might have their own unique coverage parameters and there will also be disparities in the kind and scope of services they will support. Some cover nursing home care, others offer coverage for custodial or personal care in various situations such as assisted living, adult day care, and home health care. Others yet may have a mixture of these and more services. Be sure to get a policy that best cater for your projected needs.

Also be sure that the insurer you ultimately go for is licensed to offer long term care insurance in your state. It's important to check how legitimate they are, their reputation and, finally, their standing. This is where establishments like BBB, Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services and others are truly useful.

By the very nature of recipients of long term care, it's difficult for them to claim their rights making it more critical for their insurer to be one that quickly takes care of claims. And believe it or not, some dishonest insurers have been indicted in malpractices because they understand a claimant is incapacitated.
