AARP® Short-Term Care Insurance from Medico® provides flexible care options and the ability to customize your plan.

Know Your Options

Whether you need care for one week or one year, AARP Short-Term Care Insurance from Medico provides many choices to help you customize your care plan.

Five types of care to cover your needs

AARP Short-Term Care Insurance from Medico covers five types of care to meet your specific needs. And, if you discover you need more or less care, you have the freedom to change facilities while keeping the same benefits.

  • Home healthcare

    Care provided in the comfort of your own home with the help of a home health agency to provide medical services specified by your doctor

  • Adult daycare

    A daily program that includes social- and health-related services for a group of six people or more

  • Assisted living facility

    Room, board, and personal care for individuals who can’t completely care for themselves at home, but do not need the skilled care of a nursing home facility

  • Nursing home

    A licensed healthcare facility that provides 24-hour skilled nursing care, intermediate nursing care, or custodial care

  • Hospice care facility

    Compassionate care for terminally ill patients expected to live six months or less

Customize your plan

Get the most out of your plan by tailoring it to your needs.

  • Household discount

    If you live with another adult age 18 or older, a 12% discount may be available. The other adult does not have to be a policyholder.

  • Inflation Protection rider

    Today’s $100 may not be worth the same 10 years from now. The Inflation Protection rider adds 5% to your original daily benefit annually for the life of your policy.

  • Survivorship benefit

    If you and your spouse have the same coverage and policy date and your policies have been active for 10 years, your premium payments will stop, and your coverage will continue if your spouse passes away.

Household Assistance benefit

Don’t stress about household management during your recovery process. Your policy includes a $500 benefit that can be used toward lawn care, housekeeping, and more.

Care Coordination benefit

Is it unclear which type of care is right for you or how to find a facility? This benefit provides $500 to consult an expert for advice.

Restoration of benefits

When the maximum benefit is used, policyholders who continue to pay premiums can have the policy's benefits restored once during the lifetime of the policy after the insured has not received treatment or services for 180 consecutive days.
