Long Term Care Insurance
for Florida Families and Vero Beach Retirees
Plan For Care With Confidence
Practical coverage for real life in Vero Beach.
Long-term care insurance helps pay for help with daily activities at home, in assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. It fits how care is delivered across the Treasure Coast, from Central Beach to Riomar and Grand Harbor, and it can support goals like aging in place near Royal Palm Pointe or transitioning to a community in Sebastian or Fort Pierce. Complete Trust Insurance designs plans around the way local families live, work, and receive care. For an at-a-glance comparison of options, you can review our broader life & financial insurance guidance alongside this page.
When Long-Term Care Makes Sense
Cover The Needs Most Families Will Face.
Planning often starts in the mid 50s to early 60s when health is favorable and premiums are lower. It makes sense for Florida retirees who want to protect savings, for adult children who expect to help parents, and for anyone who prefers at-home care along the Indian River Lagoon rather than a sudden move after a health event. Many clients choose to pair coverage with a modest self-funding strategy so benefits stretch farther if costs rise.
Coverage & Policy Choices
Customize the Benefits and the Structure.
Policies can reimburse home health aides, personal care, adult day services, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. You select a monthly or daily benefit, a benefit period, an elimination period, and inflation protection. There are two main structures. Traditional long-term care offers pure coverage with flexible design. Hybrid coverage combines long-term care benefits with a life policy or annuity so value remains even if care is never used. Hybrids can coordinate with existing whole life plans and retirement annuities that you already own through Complete Trust Insurance.
How Much & How Long?
Right-sized Benefits for the Treasure Coast
Start with where you want care. If the goal is to stay at home near Central Beach and community ties, emphasize richer home-care benefits and care coordination. If you prefer assisted living with memory care options in Indian River County, build a stronger facility benefit. We help you set a monthly amount, benefit period, and elimination period that match local provider costs and family support. Many clients add 3 percent compound inflation to keep purchasing power in line with Florida care trends.
Cost and Underwriting
Keep Premiums in Balance with the Plan
Price depends on age, health, benefit amount, benefit period, elimination period, and inflation rider. Ways to save include a longer elimination period, shared-care for couples, or moving part of the plan into a hybrid design if you want lifetime value. Some carriers streamline underwriting for healthy applicants, which can speed up approvals. Complete Trust Insurance compares multiple Florida carriers and builds a plan that fits your budget today while preparing for tomorrow.

Term Life Questions From Treasure Coast Families.
What types of care can a policy cover in Florida?
Home care, adult day care, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing are common. Many policies also include care coordination and caregiver training.
What is the Florida Long-Term Care Partnership?
It is a state-approved program that lets certain policyholders preserve assets if they later seek Medicaid. We verify whether a policy meets Partnership standards.

How do hybrid policies work?
Hybrid policies bundle life insurance or an annuity with long-term care benefits. If care is never needed, a beneficiary may receive a death benefit or you may access cash values depending on the contract.
Does Medicare pay for assisted living costs?
Medicare is designed for acute and short-term skilled care. It does not pay ongoing room and board in assisted living.
