LONGTERMCAREINSURANCE411

Someone with a prolonged physical illness, a disability or a cognitive impairment(such as Alzheimer's disease) often needs long term care. Many different services help people with chronic conditions overcome limitations that keep them from being independent. Long-term care is different from traditional medical care. Long term care helps one live as he or she is now; it may not help to improve or correct medical problems. Long term care services may include help with activities of daily living, home health care, respite care, hospice care, adult day care, care in a nursing home, or care in an assisted living facility. Long term care may also include care management services, which will evaluate your needs and coordinate and monitor the delivery of long-term care services.
