Provided at home or in a care facility, Long Term Care (LTC) helps people to cope with the effects of accidents, illnesses, and advancing age.

As part of Pitt's commitment to encouraging faculty and staff members to plan for a future of financial stability and security, the University offers LTC insurance at a group rate through Unum. It's an employee-paid benefit available to faculty and staff as well as their family members.
