This means that the policy should cover care received in places such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or at home, for a minimum of 24 months. This requirement ensures that individuals have access to extended care services outside of a hospital, which is important for those who need long-term assistance with activities of daily living or medical supervision.Rate this question:
