Long Term Care - Long Term Care Basics

The basic activities of daily living consist of these self-care tasks:

Bathing
Dressing and undressing
Eating
Transferring from bed to chair, and back
Voluntarily control urinary and fecal discharge
Using the toilet

Long-Term Care insurers use the six guidelines as ‘triggers’, to denote when the benefits of your long-term care policy will kick in. It is important for you to check with your long-term care insurer, or to compare long-term care policies, so that you completely understand which of the ADL’s listed above would trigger your benefits under a particular long-term care policy.
