**Long-Term Care**

Long-term care refers to a range of services and support designed to meet the personal and medical needs of individuals who have difficulty performing everyday activities over an extended period. This type of care is often provided to elderly adults, people with chronic illnesses, or individuals with disabilities, either in their homes, assisted living facilities, or nursing homes. Long-term care includes assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, and medication management, aiming to improve quality of life, independence, and well-being. It can be tailored to each person’s needs and may involve both professional caregivers and family members.
