Long-term care

Long-term care encompasses a range of services and support designed to assist individuals with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or cognitive impairments in performing activities of daily living. These services may include assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, medication management, mobility, and transportation. Long-term care can be provided in various settings, including at home, in assisted living facilities, or in nursing homes, depending on the individual’s needs and preferences. Long-term care aims to enhance quality of life, promote independence, and ensure the safety and well-being of individuals who require ongoing assistance with daily tasks. Planning for long-term care needs is essential for individuals and families to ensure access to appropriate services and support as they age or manage chronic health conditions.
