What Is Long-Term Care?
Long-term care is the assistance individuals need when they are unable to care for themselves. The need for long-term care can result from an accident, chronic illness or short-term disability, or from advanced age. Long-term care can include a broad range of services provided in any setting outside a hospital. It might be help with simple daily tasks like bathing or dressing, or it might include skilled care in your own home, an assisted living facility, some other community resources or a nursing facility.
