Home Care allows individuals to receive the long term care they need when they become disabled in their own homes. As well as in-home nursing services, home care provides for assistance with chores and personal care. Other services covered by home care include adult day care and training for family members to assist the disabled individual.

The Advantages of Youth -- Stop Procrastinating!
| |
Are you considering NPFBA Long Term Care coverage? Stop procrastinating! Every year you wait equals an increase in cost for coverage.
Take for example, John Smith who knows that he needs long term care coverage when he's older but is only 35 now. John thinks that he can wait to purchase a policy, after all retirement is still about 20 years away. However, if John purchases his long term care coverage today his monthly payment on a NPFBA 20-Year, 150 Comprehensive Plan is only $60. If John waits until he's 56, the monthly payment goes up to $161. Purchasing a long term care policy now will save John $100 a month that's $1,200 a year. Click here to read more
