All full-time employees regularly scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week are eligible for Long Term Care coverage on the first of the month after completing two full calendar months of employment.
Long Term Care is the assistance received when someone needs help with two or more Activities of Daily Living – such as dressing, bathing, going to the bathroom, eating and moving about – or when someone suffers a severe cognitive impairment. This could be provided in the home, in an assisted living or residential care facility, or in a skilled nursing facility such as a nursing home.
J M Smith is proud to provide you with a base level of benefits to help you meet the needs that Long Term Care can create. J M Smith is providing a benefit amount of $1,000 per month payable for up to 3 years. In addition, J M Smith has designed a plan that will allow you to purchase additional coverage to enhance the benefits provided to you.
