Long-term care refers to the ongoing services and support needed by people who have chronic health conditions or disabilities. More than half of the U.S. population will require long-term care at some point in their lives. 
There are three levels of long-term care:

• Skilled care: Generally round-the clock care that's given by professional health care providers such as nurses, therapists, or aides under a doctor's supervision.
• Intermediate care: Also provided by professional health care providers but on a less frequent basis than skilled care.
• Custodial care: Personal care that's often given by family caregivers, nurses' aides, or home health workers who provide assistance with what are called "activities of daily living" such as bathing, eating, and dressing.
