Long-term care (LTC) refers to a range of services designed to meet the medical and non-medical needs of people with chronic illnesses or disabilities. As people age, they may require LTC to help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and medication management.

There are various options for LTC, including nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and in-home care services. Nursing homes offer 24-hour medical care for those with complex medical needs, while assisted living facilities provide a more independent living arrangement with some assistance available. In-home care services allow seniors to receive care in the comfort of their own homes.

When considering LTC options, it is important to assess the specific needs of the individual and explore different facilities to find the best fit. Planning ahead and discussing preferences with loved ones can help ensure a smooth transition to LTC when the time comes.#25#
