Long-term care is designed to help people meet all of their daily needs when they no longer can independently due to age, illness, or disability.
People of all ages require long-term care but day-to-day activities often become harder as people age. It may be difficult to wash, get dressed and prepare meals, making personal care necessary.
Long-term care may be temporary, for example as part of post-hospital rehabilitation or recovery after a serious injury or illness.
But for many, permanent long-term care is needed. This could be due to a permanent disability or chronic condition that makes independent living challenging.
