Home care assistance

It’s a better strategy for the day when you can no longer care for yourself. While over 70% of Canadians 65-plus will require future care due to aging, illness or accident, government funding for home care is limited at best.1 Home Care Assistance lets you receive the care you need in the comfort of your own home.

HOME CARE ASSISTANCE

Important plan details

Home Care Assistance is a customized personal care plan that MyDignity will create for you. It’s an insurance solution that is designed to meet your support needs, and your budget.

Reimbursement is provided for essential services, supplies and equipment so you can receive the care you need in your own home. The specialists at MyDignity will assess your support requirements, determine which benefits are most likely to be needed, and walk you through your options.

Home Care Assistance is easy to obtain. Even those declined for traditional long term care insurance may qualify. And it’s affordable. Monthly premiums for coverage of $50,000 start as low as $53.20 for a male age 50, and $60.27 for a female age 50. Couples who apply together will receive additional savings on both plans. Premiums are based on your age at the time of application.

Home Care Assistance offers lifetime benefits, with overall maximum benefit amounts over the policyholder’s lifetime of $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 or $125,000 available for purchase to age 80.
