Long Term Care

What does long-term care mean?

As we get older, our health and lifestyle needs may change, and sometimes we need extra support to stay comfortable, safe, and independent. Long-term care provides that support when daily activities or medical needs become more than you or your loved ones can manage alone.

Long-term care services may include:

• Nursing care for ongoing medical support
• Rehabilitation and therapy to aid recovery or maintain mobility
• Personal care help with dressing, eating, and bathing
• Homemaking services such as cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation
• Supervision or companionship to ensure safety and comfort

Depending on your needs and preferences, care can be provided:

• At home, where you feel most comfortable
• In the community, such as adult day programs
• In a long-term care facility, for more specialized or continuous care

With the right plan, you can make sure you have the care you need, when and where you need it without placing a financial burden on your family.
