What is long-term care?

Long-term care is assistance people need when they no longer can care for themselves. This may be due to an accident, disability, prolonged illness or the simple process of aging.

Long-term care services include:

Help at home with day-to-day activities, such as cooking, cleaning, bathing and dressing

Care in the community, such as in an adult day care facility

Supervised care provided in an assisted living facility

Skilled care provided in a nursing home
