Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS)

Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) refer to a range of assistance provided to individuals, usually older adults or those with disabilities, who need help with everyday activities like bathing, dressing, and eating. LTSS can be delivered in various settings, including home care, community programs, and nursing facilities. The goal is to enhance the quality of life and promote independence for those who require ongoing assistance due to chronic conditions or disabilities. LTSS may encompass medical care, personal care, and supportive services tailored to individual needs.
