Slide notes:Long-term care facilities are health care organizations that provide assistance to aging adults and to clients with chronic illness. A variety of types of institutions serve different needs. Adult day care provides meals and activities during the day. Independent living situations are retirement communities that generally have separate condos or apartments. Residents can typically purchase options, such as meals and housekeeping services, individually. Assisted living can be an apartment or individual room where a number of services such as personal care, medication administration, meals, and housekeeping are part of the package. 21
