Long Term Care Service / Provided Care Service

Long-term care is a type of service that provides assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) for individuals who have a chronic illness, disability, or cognitive impairment. Long-term care services can be provided in a variety of settings, including in-home care, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes.

In-home care services, also known as home health care, provide assistance with ADLs and IADLs in the individual’s own home. This can include help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, as well as meal preparation, light housekeeping, and medication management.

Assisted living facilities are a type of long-term care community that provide housing, personal care, and health services to older adults and individuals with disabilities. Assisted living facilities typically offer private or semi-private rooms, and provide assistance with ADLs and IADLs, as well as recreational activities, transportation, and medication management.

Nursing homes, also known as skilled nursing facilities, provide 24-hour medical and personal care to individuals who require a higher level of care than can be provided in an assisted living facility. Nursing homes typically have licensed nurses and other medical professionals on staff, and provide assistance with ADLs, IADLs, and medical treatments such as administering medication, wound care, and physical therapy.

Overall, Long-term care services provided by professional caregivers are designed to help people with ongoing health conditions and disabilities to maintain their independence and quality of life, and to support their families and caregivers.
