Long-Term Care

Long-term care is a range of services and supports that help people meet their personal care needs—getting dressed, driving to appointments, or making meals. Many people are not sure what services and supports are covered by insurance, and they may be misinformed about Medicare coverage. The website LongTermCare.gov has resources to bring clarity to insurance benefits, the services and supports that insurance covers, including those services and supports that Medicare covers.
