Long-Term Care

What is Long-Term Care?

Long-term care helps people with daily living activities that they cannot do on their own for an extended period of time. 

Many people choose to receive long-term care at their home with the help of caregivers. Others may choose to receive long-term care at nursing homes, assisted living communities, and residential care facilities.

Who Are Ombudsmen?

Ombudsmen speak up for people in long-term care, whether they live in a long-term care facility or are in their own homes. Your local ombudsman can help with many things, including: 

• Reporting Care Concerns
• Understanding Your Rights
• Solving Problems
• Choosing a Facility
• Advocating for Better Care
