Institutional Long-Term Care:
Institutional Long-Term Care
consists of several different levels but requires the recipient
of care to relocate from their normal places of residence. They
include Adult Foster Care Homes, Assisted Living complexes,
Homes for the Aged, and nursing homes. The level of care
provided within these settings depends upon the individual’s
particular needs and may be as little as supervision and cuing
someone to do something for themselves, to total hands-on
assistance with all activities of daily living. There are
several payment sources for residential long-term care, although
each source may or may not pay for care in all of these
settings. The sources include Medicare, Medicaid, private
insurances and private pay.
