Check the long-term care cover

Israel

Most children: 63–70

What it is

Know what the kupah policy and Bituach Leumi actually cover before anyone needs it.

Start preparing

1. Find the kupah long-term care policy and read what triggers a payout and for how long.
2. Bituach Leumi's 'gimlat siud' is separate and means-tested — check eligibility rules now, not in a crisis.
3. Keep the policies, the enduring power of attorney and the advance directive in one place the family knows about.
