"Long-term care (LTC) is a variety of services which help meet both the medical and non-medical needs of people with a chronic illness or disability who cannot care for themselves for long periods. It is common for long-term care to provide custodial and non-skilled care, such as assisting with normal daily tasks like dressing, feeding, using the bathroom. Increasingly, LTC involves providing a level of medical care that requires the expertise of skilled practitioners to address the multiple chronic conditions associated with older populations." - Wikipedia
