LONG-TERM CARE

Long-term care involves a variety of services designed to meet a person’s health or personal care needs during a short or long period of time. These services help people live as independently and safely as possible when they can no longer perform everyday activities on their own.
The most common type of long-term care is personal care—help with everyday activities, also called “activities of daily living.”

Personal Care Activites


– Bathing
– Dressing
– Grooming
– Using the toilet
– Eating
– Getting out of bed and into a chair.

Long-term care also includes community services such as meals, adult day care, and transportation services. These services may be provided free or for a fee.

People often need long-term care when they have a serious, ongoing health condition or disability. The need for long-term care can arise suddenly, such as after a heart attack or stroke. Most often, however, it develops gradually, as people get older and frailer or as an illness or disability gets worse.

Who Needs Long-Term Care?

It is difficult to predict how much or what type of long-term care a person might need. Several things increase the risk of needing long-term care.


Age: The risk generally increases as people get older.

Gender: Women are at higher risk than men,
primarily because they often live longer.


Marital Status: Single people are more likely than married people to need care from a paid provider.


Lifestyle: Poor diet and exercise habits can increase a person’s risk.


Health & Family History: These factors also affect risk.
