Choosing care for an aging or ill loved one is one of the hardest decisions a family faces — emotionally fraught, expensive, and full of confusing options. This maps the landscape: what the main levels of care actually are and who each suits, how to match them to your person's real needs and budget, what to look for (and the red flags) when evaluating providers, and how to involve the person with dignity. It's a decision map, not medical or financial advice.
Long Term Care Options is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/long-term-care-options/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked what are the care options for my parent, in-home care vs assisted living vs nursing home, help me choose a care option, or explain long-term care. Produces a plain-English explainer of the main care levels and what each is for, a match to the person's needs (care level, budget, preferences), the key questions and red flags when evaluating providers, cost and funding considerations to research, and how to involve the person in the decision — a map for one of the hardest, most emotional decisions a family makes.
The Long Term Care Options Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 178,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
