Long Term Care

What does long-term care mean?

Long-term care services may include:

• nursing care
• rehabilitation and therapy
• personal care (help with activities of daily living such as dressing, eating and bathing)
• homemaking services (cleaning, laundry, preparing meals)
• having another person there to watch over you and help you when and where you need it

Depending on how much care you need and the choices you and your family make, this care can be received:

• in your home
• in the community (e.g., adult day centres)
• in a long-term care facility
