Can an HSA be used to pay for long term care, assisted living facility, etc etc?

Long-term care insurance premiums and expenses do qualify. A complete list of qualified expenses may be found in the IRS publication 502. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf.

Yes – You own and you control the money in your HSA. Decisions on how to spend the money are made by you without relying on a third party or a health insurer. You will also decide what types of investments to make with the money in the account in order to make it grow.

Some of the newer ones have that kind of flexibility. Some of the older ones may not, so you would need to check the specifics of yours.
