November is Long-Term Care Awareness Month. Long-term care (LTC) covers assistance with the activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, shopping, cooking, eating… and help with many other needs that may arise as you get older. It can be very expensive depending on what type of care you need, and whether or not you can stay in your home or need a nursing care facility.
