Long-Term Care Blog

Long-Term Care (also called Custodial Care) is for members who meet specific rules. You cannot live at home on your own because of a health need. You may need long term help with things like bathing, getting dressed, getting in and out of bed, walking, using the toilet, and eating. You get this care in a Long-Term Care facility called a Skilled Nursing Facility.

Custodial Long-Term Care services require prior authorization. If your doctor is recommending Custodial Long-Term Care services, they will contact SFHP and request prior authorization.
