What is unskilled care?

Karl Steinberg (Associate Medical Director, Sharp Mission Park Medical Group) gives expert video advice on: What is long-term care?; Why should I worry about long-term care?; Who needs long-term care? and more...

That's basically what we call custodial care. And that just means it's the type of care that can be provided by either a layperson or maybe somebody who has just a certificate, like a certified nurse's aid or something like that. Essentially it would be assistance with activities of daily living, like grooming or ambulation, things like that, that wouldn't require a skilled professional - a licensed professional like a nurse or a physical therapist, things of that nature.
