Long-term Care Act: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if you qualify for full coverage for intensive home care or nursing home care under the Long-term Care Act.

The Long-term Care Act provides comprehensive support for individuals who require constant supervision or intensive care due to their health or disability.

Who it's for

This scheme is for people who need 24-hour supervision or intensive care to manage their daily life.

What you get

If you qualify, you receive full coverage for either intensive care provided within your own home or specialized care in a nursing home.

What it costs you

While the care itself is covered, you must pay a contribution toward the cost. This amount is not fixed; it depends on your personal income.

The catch to know

The process to prove you need this level of care is very rigorous. You should have all your medical reports organized and ready to support your application.

How to apply

  1. Gather all necessary medical documentation regarding your health needs.
  2. Submit an application to the relevant assessment body to receive an official indication.
  3. Once approved, your specific care needs will be coordinated with providers.
