What Exactly
is Long Term
Care? |
|
Generally,
long-term
care is the
care people
need when
they can’t
perform the
tasks of
ordinary
living
independently.
It isn’t a
subject that
most of us
care to
dwell on.
However, the
failure to
discuss or
plan for the
high cost of
long-term
care is
causing
American
families to
be
unprepared
to meet the
high costs
of long-term
care. This
section
addresses
what
long-term
care is and
where it is
provided, as
well as the
costs of
long-term
care and who
pays for it.
