The continuum is made of sixty different services grouped into seen categories. They include extended services, acute services, ambulatory services, home care, outreach and linkage, wellness and health promotion and housing. The continuum of care is a theoretical model rather than an actual system of care delivery.

This model concentrates on patient care with a comprehensive, total patient care strategy, while lowering the incidence of emergency room use and lowering the number of times a patient is admitted to the hospital (Robeznieks, 2015). The health care team will evaluate the patient, monitor their condition while educating them about their specific needs and how to provide their own self-care at home.
