Welcome to the University of Illinois Extension’s Long-Term Care Website!
Planning for and managing long-term care needs is a process. As our website title indicates, it includes:
- Talking to involved persons (including spouses, family members as well as service providers),
- Deciding on available options, and
- Taking Action in order to provide a secure and safe future
Long-term care includes social, emotional, physical, financial, housing, and medical support and assistance throughout the aging process. We’ve selected four, interrelated areas of long-term care to highlight in this website. They are:
- Housing
- Family Dynamics
- Caregiving
- Financing
