Custodial Care - is non-skilled care that is necessary due to a cognitive impairment or to assist you with your daily activities. 

Intermediate Care - the care provided by a registered nurse or other skilled nursing professional on a interim basis, not necessarily daily. Skilled Care - the care provided by a doctor or registered nurse on a daily basis. This care is usually provided in a skilled nursing or rehabilitation facility.

Respite Care - short-term, limited services from home care to healthcare provided by outside agencies to provide the primary caregiver a break from the responsibilities of full-time eldercare.
