Pennsylvania Long Term Care consists of assistance with everyday tasks that you may no longer be able to perform by yourself. For example, there may come a time when you need help getting dressed, eating, or bathing. Long Term Care also includes help in case you have a severe cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s disease. You can receive Long Term Care in a variety of settings, including your own home, a nursing home or an assisted living facility. For people over the age of 65, about 70% will need some Long Term Care, and nearly 40% of people currently receiving Long Term Care are ages 16-64.
