Long-term care is a variety of services which help meet both the medical and non-medical need of people with a chronic illness or disability who cannot care for themselves for long periods of time. Long-term care can be provided at home, in the community, in assisted living or in nursing homes.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates that by 2020, 12 million older Americans will need long-term care. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that four out of every ten people who reach age 65 will enter a nursing home at some point in their lives. Roper Insurance is proud to be the most trusted long-term care provider in Western North Carolina.
