When the costs of medical treatment and Long Term Care rise over time, you’d want to ensure that you are adequately protected against such costs.Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents with Medisave accounts are automatically covered by basic ElderShield at age 40. In the event of losing the ability to perform at least 3 out of 6 Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), you will receive S$400 Monthly Benefit payouts for up to six years.
Is basic ElderShield enough to provide for your Long Term Care needs?Long Term Care can be very costly, especially if you are unable to care for yourself for an extended period of time. As most people are not able to save enough money for their own Long Term Care, the financial burden falls to their loved ones who will have to juggle between work and caregiving obligations.
Enhance your basic ElderShield with ElderShield ComprehensiveElderShield Comprehensive is designed to supplement basic ElderShield by providing higher benefits while stretching coverage up to a lifetime, to help you lessen the financial burden and provide greater peace of mind.
