Long Term Care Insurance
Introduction
Seattle Pacific University is pleased to offer you and your family the option to plan ahead with long-term care (LTC) insurance. LTC insurance is designed to pay for custodial care once you are in need of assistance with two or more Activities of Daily Living or have a cognitive impairment like dementia or Alzheimer’s. The insurance will pay for care received at home, in a nursing home or assisted living facility.
Seattle Pacific University's Long Term Care insurance consultant, LTC Solutions, has launched a new website called Care Source Solutions. Check out the homepage and find all caregiving resources in one place.
