CNA long-term care insurance explained

CNA provides standard and specialized insurance products for businesses and professionals across the United States, Canada and Europe. Its long-term care insurance policies help individuals access needed services and support when they can’t perform daily living activities on their own. Long-term care refers to a range of services, including assisted living, nursing homes, in-home care and adult day care. 

Long-term care options carry high costs. The average American pays an annual median rate of $54,000 for assisted living, according to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. This rate includes room and board, meals and some assistance with personal care tasks. However, those needing extensive daily living support and medical care may incur additional fees. Long-term care insurance aims to alleviate the financial burden of paying for care, providing peace of mind to individuals seeking support. 

What assisted living services does CNA long-term care insurance cover?

CNA long-term care insurance covers a range of assisted living services, depending on the policy type. The company offers traditional and hybrid policies. Traditional long-term care insurance involves paying premiums and making claims when you need covered services. Hybrid policies combine long-term care coverage with other benefits, such as life insurance.
