long term care
Extended medical assistance
Long term care is ongoing assistance for people who cannot fully care for themselves due to chronic illness, disability, or aging.
It includes help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and eating, provided in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or at home.
Long term care insurance helps cover these costs, which standard health insurance typically excludes.
Planning for long term care is essential as people age.
