Developing a long-term care plan is not something you can do overnight. This is a process that requires careful consideration, research and thinking.
So whether you or your loved one, whether you need long-term care in the future due to chronic illness, accidents, or simply aging, it may be necessary at some point. However, even if you feel uncomfortable, planning can protect your health and finances.
What is long-term care?
The term “long-term care” refers to a variety of services aimed at meeting the medical, social and personal needs of people who are unable to independently manage their daily lives. These tasks are more than a minor inconvenience. They are essential to our autonomy and dignity. Some common examples are bathing, dressing, eating, moving the toilet (from bed to chair), and maintaining maintenance. If these capabilities are reduced, they can provide long-term care and support.
