Inaugural long-term care insurance product will help families plan, find, and fund care with confidence
CareScout today announced the launch of CareScout Care Assurance, its insurance company's first long-term care (LTC) insurance solution. This represents a milestone in CareScout's mission to simplify and dignify the aging journey and signals the start of a broader portfolio of funding solutions and services designed to support families.
"The launch of CareScout Care Assurance is more than the introduction of a product, it's the beginning of a new chapter for CareScout, as we provide curated experiences for our long-term care insurance policyholders based on their needs and preferences," said Lynn White, CEO of CareScout Insurance Company. "This is our first insurance solution, and it represents our commitment to enabling a better aging journey – one that is thoughtful, dignified, and personalized at every step."
CareScout Care Assurance, issued by CareScout Insurance Company, combines financial protection for long-term care expenses with access to an ecosystem of services and resources, including the CareScout Quality Network, a nationwide network of aging care providers vetted for quality standards who also offer preferred pricing. Combining coverage and individualized service offerings, including wellness programs and access to trusted care providers, CareScout is creating a more holistic approach to long-term care.
