Long Term Care

Long term care includes a range of supportive medical, personal, and social services needed by people who are unable to meet their basic living needs for an extended period of time. This support, which requires the aid of a healthy caregiver, can be supplied at an assisted living facility or nursing home.

Assisted Living

An assisted living facility is a place where residents can receive assistance in daily living, but are capable of handling most daily activities on their own and do not need constant care.

Nursing Home

A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living.
