Who Provides Long Term Care?



The primary provider of long term care is your family. As a matter of fact, 86% of unpaid or informal caregivers are your loved ones or relatives. About 36% administer long term care services for one of their parents while 14% are taking care of a child with disability. 

People who require long term care turn to their loved ones first. However, caregiving has adverse effects to them particularly to their health and income. This can result into health problems and financial woes in the future. 

If you want to spare your loved ones from stress and financial problems, then it’s best to seek the help of a skilled caregiver or consider moving in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. In addition to this, this can also ensure that you get the proper care you need.
