Long - term care involves much more than
just nursing homes. It can include home modifications so you can continue
to live at home. It can mean having an aide remind you to take necessary
medication. Training may also be provided to help a loved one care for
you.
Long - term care can also include professional care, such as skilled nursing
care you may receive at home or perhaps in a residential care facility
or residential care care facility for the elderly.
Long - term care is the kind of help you may need
because an accident, prolonged illness, disability or increased frailty
make it difficult for you to care for yourself. |
