CURA Long-Term Care Insurance supports you if you are dependent on long-term care. You receive contributions toward household help or nursing home costs and thus protect your assets if you need care.
With CURA Long-Term Care Insurance, you receive the following benefits in addition to those covered by basic insurance:
In old age, in the event of chronic illness or following an accident, high care costs may be incurred and may not be covered or only partially covered by basic insurance. CURA Long-Term Care Insurance will support you with this. If you are demonstrably dependent on long-term care, you will receive a daily contribution in the amount of the daily allowance insured by you as soon as the waiting period you have chosen (180, 360, 720 or 1,080 days) has expired. This will allow you to pay for medically prescribed household help or accommodation costs (room and board) in a nursing home, and thus better protect your assets, which in many cases have been saved for years.
Basic insurance only covers a portion of care costs. It does not contribute at all to the expenses for accommodation and meals in a nursing home. Patients needing care must pay the uncovered costs themselves.
If you require long-term care in your old age, in the event of chronic illness or following an accident, compulsory basic insurance only contributes toward part of the healthcare costs. You must pay the uncovered costs, such as room and board (accommodation), if you need care.
If you require household help or care in a nursing home, you may have to dip into your own savings. Staying in a nursing home is expensive and can quickly eat up your saved assets. Sometimes, even other members of your family must contribute to the care costs.
It is therefore important to take out long-term care insurance at an early stage. This way, both your assets and your family's money are better protected.
