What is Long-Term Care?
Long-term care encompasses a range of services designed for individuals who need assistance with medical, personal, or therapeutic needs over an extended period.
Unlike short-term care or rehabilitation, long-term care provides continuous support for those who may not fully recover but still deserve the best quality of life.
Long-term care includes help with basic personal tasks, such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, as well as specialized care for chronic illnesses and age-related conditions. It may also involve emotional and social support to enhance mental well-being and overall life satisfaction.
