Options | Needs | Terms | What is LTC home
In Milwaukee County, long term care is so much more than nursing home care. It includes a wide range of resources such as transportation, chore services, housekeeping, financial planning, housing options and many others. Understanding the different service options available to you is the first step in taking control and making informed decisions about how and where you want to live.
The long term care services you choose will depend on three things:
For example, if you live independently but need a little assistance doing household chores, maybe a family member, neighbor or community group can help. If not, you may want to buy those services. When considering what to buy, your financial resources will in large part determine your options.
Professionals in long term care can help you determine which services best fit your individual needs. Before talking with a professional, answer the following questions so that you have a clear sense of the person’s abilities and needs.
When you think about daily life, when do you typically need assistance?
How often do you need assistance?
Do you currently have daily social contacts with other people, such as spouse, children, family, friends or neighbors?
Can you safely remain living at home if assistance is provided?
Are you willing to consider alternative living arrangements such as a private apartment or a group home?
Do you have the money to pay for services or will you need to rely on government-supported services?
