What Is Unum Long-Term Care Insurance and Why It Matters

Unum Long-Term Care Insurance helps pay for services that Medicare and traditional health insurance often don’t cover—especially non-medical assistance that supports seniors and individuals with chronic conditions at home. These services include help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), which Unum uses as a primary measure to determine eligibility for long-term care benefits.

Unum typically begins coverage when a policyholder needs assistance with at least two ADLs or has a documented cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. 7 Day Home Care’s team of registered nurses (RNs) ensures each assessment aligns perfectly with Unum’s clinical requirements to establish eligibility and maintain compliance.


Understanding ADLs: The Foundation of Long-Term Care Coverage

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are the essential self-care tasks we all perform daily. For seniors or individuals recovering from illness or injury, these activities may become challenging—making home care vital for independence and safety.


Here are the six primary ADLs recognized by Unum and most long-term care insurance providers:


  1. Bathing: Safely washing and grooming oneself, including getting in and out of the shower or tub.
  2. Dressing: Selecting and putting on appropriate clothing independently.
  3. Eating: Feeding oneself, even if meals are prepared by someone else.
  4. Toileting: Getting to and from the toilet and maintaining proper hygiene.
  5. Transferring: Moving in and out of bed or chairs safely.
  6. Continence: Managing bladder and bowel control or related assistive devices.


When an individual needs help with two or more ADLs—or has cognitive decline—Unum policyholders are typically eligible to receive in-home care benefits.


At 7 Day Home Care, we perform nurse-led ADL assessments that clearly document these needs, ensuring accurate and fast claim approvals through Unum.
