Long-Term Care Services
What Is Long Term Care?
When it comes to receiving long-term care, there are a number of paths you can take depending on your personal preferences and requirements.
Long-term care is a branch of care that addresses the needs of people living with serious or debilitating illnesses who are unable to care for themselves. The main objective of long-term care is to ensure the patient receives consistent, regulated care that addresses any medical conditions they may have. It ensures they’re able to enjoy the best possible quality of life and experience independence.
What Long-Term Care Services Are Available?
Historically, people have often opted to move to a residential nursing home.
For example, specific medical conditions such as types of dementia and cancer will require specialist, bespoke care from highly trained private care workers on a permanent basis. As long-term care requirements progress or change, different types of support may be required – such as live-in care, palliative care, or end-of-life care.
