Long-Term Care Insurance in Florida — Planning for Care Medicare Does Not Cover

At Lifeworth Insurance Agency, long-term care planning starts with a fact most families learn too late: Medicare does not pay for long-term care. Help with everyday activities — bathing, dressing, eating, moving safely — falls outside what Medicare and most Medigap plans cover, and the cost lands on the household.

Our Long-Term Care Solutions

Lifeworth Long-Term Care Services

Traditional Long-Term Care Insurance

Dedicated coverage for daily care — pays a daily or monthly benefit when you need help with everyday activities.

  • Covers care at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility
  • Benefit amount and benefit period chosen at application
  • Premiums are not guaranteed and can be increased by the insurer

Hybrid Life and Long-Term Care

One policy, two outcomes — a life policy you can draw down for care, which still pays a death benefit if care is never needed.

  • Premiums are typically guaranteed at issue
  • Pays a death benefit if long-term care is never used
  • Usually funded with a single premium or a set number of payments

Long-Term Care Riders on Life Insurance

An add-on to coverage you may already want — accelerates part of a life insurance death benefit to pay for qualifying care.

  • Added to a new policy, or an existing one with some carriers
  • Benefits paid for care reduce the death benefit
  • Rider availability, cost, and triggers vary by carrier

Partnership-Qualified Policies

Coverage tied to Medicaid asset protection — approved under the Florida Long-Term Care Partnership Program, which grants a dollar-for-dollar asset disregard.

  • Every $1 of benefits paid shields $1 of assets from Medicaid spend-down
  • Must be tax-qualified and include inflation protection
  • Buying a Partnership policy does not by itself guarantee Medicaid eligibility

Independent guidance

Why Choose Lifeworth for Long-Term Care?

Long-term care is a household decision before it is a policy decision.

As an independent agency in Broward County, we start with how your family actually intends to handle care — who would provide it, where, and for how long — and only then look at which of the four routes above fits. Rate-increase history and benefit triggers get explained before you apply, not after.
