November is National Long-Term Care Awareness Month
Understanding Long-Term Care
November marks National Long-Term Care Awareness Month, a time to focus on what long-term care really means and why early planning is important. Long-term care includes services that help individuals with daily living activities when health or mobility changes. These services may include:
- Skilled nursing care
- In-home support
- Assisted living
- Memory care services
Most adults will need some form of long-term care during their lifetime. Planning ahead ensures care aligns with personal wishes and reduces stress for loved ones.
Why Planning Ahead Is Essential
- High likelihood of need: A significant percentage of adults will require long-term care at some point.
- Financial preparedness: Costs can be substantial; options like long-term care insurance can help manage expenses.
- Family peace of mind: Early conversations prevent rushed decisions and allow families to honor individual preferences.
