Long-Term Care or Extended Care can be described in many different ways and often is from using scare tactics, to percentages, to the exorbitant costs of care. If you have ever been a full time care giver to a loved one there is no explanation required as you get it. In a nut shell Long-Term Care is about choice and quality of care for the loved one who can no longer fully care for themself for a variety of reasons, most often due to the aging process. It is also about the …quality of life for the care giver and the tremendous stresses involved with assuming a 24/7/365 care-giving role.We get it…..most individuals don’t plan ahead for issues such as Long-Term Care and or Extended Care.
