Where are Long Term Care Services Received and Who Provides Long Term Care? Many people think all long term care is provided in nursing homes. However, long term care is also provided at home, in adult day care facilities or in assisted living facilities.
Currently, 83% of long term care is
provided in the home or community, while only 17% is provided in
a nursing home.5 Who Provides Long Term Care? Most long term care services are provided by family members and friends. This type of care, informal care, also includes long term care services provided by unlicensed caregivers who are not arranged or supervised by a home care agency. Care can also be provided by professionals trained in the field of long term care. This type of care, formal care, is provided by a home health aide or homemaker arranged or supervised by a home care agency or provided by a nurse or therapist. |
