ElderShield was introduced in 2002 as a basic long-term care insurance scheme targeted at severe disability. It provided payouts of $300/month for 5 years or $400/month for 6 years upon severe disability, depending on the scheme you joined. With the introduction of CareShield Life, the ElderShield scheme is closed for new applications.
