Long-term care refers to ongoing assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) — such as bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and transferring — or supervision and care for individuals with cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s disease. It includes care provided at home, in assisted living, in memory care facilities, and in skilled nursing facilities. Long-term care is distinct from acute medical care in that it is ongoing and custodial rather than curative.
