Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-term care is what you need when you’re no longer able to take care of yourself and need help with basic, everyday tasks like bathing or getting yourself dressed. Since we can’t predict the future, we don’t know when the need for that kind of care may arise. 

That’s why the University of Pennsylvania offers its faculty and staff and their eligible family members Long-Term Care Insurance. Coverage is provided when care is required for an extended period of time in a nursing home, in your own home, in an adult day care center, or in other types of covered care facilities.

As of January 1, 2006, Penn’s Long-Term Care plan is administered by the John Hancock Life Insurance Company. For complete plan details, to enroll, or to request an enrollment kit:
