Long-Term Care

Long-term care means assistance with things that healthy, independent persons can do without help.  Long-term care is a vague concept, not specific like a broken arm, or a tumor in the lung. In many ways long-term care is defined by what it is not, rather than what it is. See the links below for an in-depth discussion.
