The nursing home must be primarily engaged in providing skilled nursing care under the supervision of a licensed physician. Nursing home does not include a home or facility used primarily for rest; for the care of drug addicts or alcoholics; for the care and treatment of mental diseases or disorders; or for custodial care. Premiums will be waived until age 80 if you are in a nursing home. At that time, you can exchange your coverage for permanent life insurance.
