What is long-term care?
Long-term care is a range of services and supports you may require to meet your personal care needs. Most long-term care is not medical, but rather assistance with the basic personal tasks of everyday life such as bathing, dressing, or eating. These tasks are sometimes called Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
