What type of care is provided under the supervision of medical professionals for chronic diseases?

Long-Term Care (LTC) is designed to provide ongoing care and support for individuals with chronic diseases or disabilities that may require assistance over an extended period. This type of care is often provided in facilities such as nursing homes or assisted living, but it can also be provided at home. LTC focuses on helping individuals with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, and eating, which are often challenging for those with chronic conditions.

The involvement of medical professionals in LTC ensures that patients receive the clinical and therapeutic support they need while managing their chronic diseases. This care approach is vital for individuals who may have complex health needs requiring continuous observation and intervention.
