Long-term care is a variety of services that help people with health or personal needs and activities of daily living over a period of time. We encourage you to avoid the common pitfall of only associating ltc with "end of life" scenarios. Though it is true that 60% of people over 65 will need some type of long-term care, it can also happen to any of us at any age due to accident or illness.
