When does long-term care become necessary?
It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that a loved one may need home care for the foreseeable future, yet a diagnosis of a chronic, progressive or debilitating condition makes this unavoidable. If one of these conditions has made day-to-day life unmanageable, you may want to consider long-term care.
