DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR INSURANCE WILL PAY FOR WHEN YOU NEED LONG TERM CARE?



Grace Care Center at Northpointe wants you to know what your current health care coverage and retirement will and won’t cover when it comes to paying for long term care.  Did you know according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services research center; Americans reaching the age of 65 have a 70% chance of requiring long-term care?  This can include nursing home care and rehabilitation services such as The Grace Care Northpointe Senior Center provides but may also include many other sources of care.  Long term care may include assisted living, memory care and a host of other support services.  These services can provide a quality of life that is meaningful, safe and secure.  80 to 85 percent of Texas nursing home residents are dependent upon either Medicare or Medicaid funding for their care.   Do you know what your health insurance will and won’t cover?
