Long term care is care that you need if you can no longer perform everyday tasks (activities of daily living) by yourself due to a chronic illness, injury, disability or the aging process. The plan also includes the supervision you might need due to a severe cognitive impairment (such as Alzheimer’s disease). People often confuse these plans with disability or short-term medical care.
It is not:
- care that you receive in the hospital or your doctor’s office
- care you need to get well from a sickness or an injury
- short-term rehabilitation from an accident
- recuperation from surgery
This type of care is not intended to cure you. It is chronic care that you might need for the rest of your life. You can receive your care in your own home, a nursing home or another care facility, such as an assisted living facility.
