Truth: Long-term care is so much more!
- In Minnesota, more long-term care is provided in the community because people want to stay in their home.
- There are services available in Minnesota to help people do that, and most all of these are considered long-term care services.
- These may include but are not limited to adult day services, assisted living, case management, caregiver training and support, chore, companion and homemaker services, home delivered meals, accessibility adaptations, transportation, respite care, home care, supplies and equipment home health aides and personal care services, and transitional supports.
