The Importance of Long-Term Care: Thrive USA Homecare’s Comprehensive Services
As our loved ones age and their health needs evolve, finding the right care solution can be challenging. At Thrive USA Homecare, we recognize the critical role of long-term care in maintaining quality of life and providing peace of mind for families.
Understanding Long-Term Care
Long-term care enables individuals to “live as independently and safely as possible when they can no longer perform everyday activities on their own,” as defined by the National Institute on Aging. This care often encompasses a range of services, from basic housekeeping and meal preparation to more intensive personal care like bathing and grooming assistance. It’s important to note that Medicare and most health insurance plans don’t cover long-term care, as it’s not typically considered medical care.
The Significance of Long-Term Care
LongTermCare.gov reports that “about 60% of adults will need assistance with things like getting dressed, driving to appointments, or making meals.” Factors influencing the need for care include:
For seniors wishing to “age in place” in their own homes, long-term care is crucial for ensuring safety and comfort. Whether it’s help with mobility, grooming, or daily tasks, having professional assistance allows seniors to maintain independence while giving family members peace of mind.
Who Needs Long-Term Care?

- Gender: Women, due to longer life expectancy, may require more care
- Relationship status: Single individuals often need more professional support
