Because of the aging population and longevity, mental or physical illness, or injury, some people find themselves in need of help with eating, bathing, dressing, toileting or continence, and/or transferring (e.g., getting out of a chair or out of bed). In general, if you can’t do two or more of these activities, or if you have a cognitive impairment, you are said to need “long-term care.”
Many people think that long-term care is provided exclusively in a nursing home. It can be, but it can also be provided in an adult day care center, an assisted living facility, or at home!
