Frequently Asked Questions About Long-Term Care
How do I know my loved one is appropriate for long-term care?
Long-term care is often appropriate when your loved one needs ongoing, hands-on help with daily activities affected by a chronic condition or illness. Caregiving may include support with bathing, dressing, eating, medication management, and mobility. Warning signs can be frequent falls, worsening memory or confusion, missed medications, poor nutrition, or caregiver burnout. If you’re noticing these changes, our team can help by assessing your loved one’s needs and recommending the right level of care.
