3 Things Most Families Don’t Know About Long-Term Care Insurance

By Brian Callahan 7 Day Home Care • October 6, 2025
3 Things Most Families Don't Know About Long-Term Care Insurance Most long-term care insurance policies don’t start paying automatically. To activate your benefits, the insured must typically need help with two or more Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)—like bathing or dressing—or have a documented cognitive impairment such as dementia. Coverage often applies only when care is provided by a licensed home care agency, n ot a private aide. Correct documentation, nurse assessments, and timely claim filing are the keys to receiving benefits smoothly. 7 Day Home Care is a licensed New York home care agency that specializes in helping families use and maximize their private long-term care insurance benefits. Many seniors and their loved ones don’t realize that most private long-term care insurance policies—such as those from Brighthouse, Genworth, CNA, MetLife, New York Life, John Hancock, Lincoln Financial, Bankers Life, UNUM and Mutual of Omaha—require that care be provided by a New York State licensed home care agency with registered nurse supervision to qualify for reimbursement. At 7 Day Home Care, every caregiver is a certified home health aide (HHA) trained and overseen by experienced RNs, ensuring full compliance with insurance and Department of Health standards. The agency assists families with policy verification, nurse assessments, care plan creation, claim preparation, and direct billing, eliminating the confusion and delays that often accompany long-term care insurance claims. By working directly with your insurance provider, 7 Day Home Care helps clients activate their benefits quickly, avoid out-of-pocket costs, and receive high-quality, compassionate in-home care across Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County, and Suffolk County, NY.

Hoyer Lift Guide: How to Safely Transfer Immobile Patients at Home

By Brian Callahan 7 Day Home Care • September 30, 2025
Hoyer Lift Guide: How to Safely Transfer Immobile Patients at Home The Hoyer lift, invented in the mid-20th century by mechanical engineer Ted Hoyer, was designed to solve one of the biggest challenges in caregiving: safely transferring individuals with limited mobility without risking injury to patients or caregivers. Today, this innovation remains essential in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and private homes, where it protects against falls, skin tears, and caregiver back injuries during transfers from bed to wheelchair, toilet, or chair. At 7 Day Home Care, we recognize the importance of this device and have become a leading provider of in-home care services across New York, with outstanding Home Health Aides (HHAs) who are fully trained and experienced in safe Hoyer lift operation. Our HHAs integrate the lift into daily care routines with professionalism and compassion, ensuring that each transfer maintains dignity, comfort, and safety. Under the supervision of Registered Nurses, our care teams not only manage mobility challenges but also deliver comprehensive, individualized support that gives families peace of mind and helps patients remain secure and cared for in the comfort of their own homes.
