Long-term care is a broad term used to describe the various services and health care provided for those who can’t take care of themselves, usually due to injury or chronic health condition. Offering a group plan to your employees that covers long-term care is a terrific way to set yourself apart from other businesses in your industry and give your employees peace of mind knowing they’ll be taken care of.
