Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS)

Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) encompass a variety of medical and non-medical services aimed at assisting individuals who have functional limitations or chronic conditions and require ongoing support with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). These services may include assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, medication management, transportation, and household chores. LTSS can be provided in various settings, including home-based care, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and adult day care centers. The goal of LTSS is to help individuals maintain their independence, improve their quality of life, and remain in their preferred living environment for as long as possible.
