Long-Term Care: A Case Study

Long term care (LTC) is holistic method of treatment of the person who suffer from physical, mental or emotional chronic problems which impacts their routine independent work (Spruit, M., Vroon, R., & Batenburg, R., 2014). The long-term care helps to improve quality of life and help the patient fulfill various needs (Shi & Singh, 2015). In the US, LTC is financed by government (federal and state Medicaid programs and Medicare) and private sources (private insurance and out-of-pocket money) (Shi &

realize that they cannot provide care anymore? For anyone, deciding to put their loved one or themselves into a long-term care facility, it can be difficult and resources can be hard to understand. In March of 2016, I personally went to three nursing homes in Northwest Ohio region. These nursing homes were; Concord Care Center of Toledo, Swan Creek Care Center and Lakes of Monclova Health Campus. Two of these nursing homes; Concord Care Center of Toledo and Swan Creek Care Center were in urban settings

deciding whether to buy Long Term Care (LTC) Insurance or be self-insured. The choice to make will be first of all personal as one can decide to take the money he would have put in long-term-care premiums and investing it in a low cost index fund to create his own pool of funds to draw on down the road if need be and avoid the dreaded. According to Howard Gleckman in “Should You Self Insure against Long-Term Care Risk or Buy Insurance?,” one in three aged 65 year old will need no care at all before death

I enjoyed reading your discussion post about how patient-centered care is present in the long-term care. I believe that all nurses should be taking the time to find out how the patient prefers to take their medication and what the patient likes to take it with, whether it is with ginger ale, water or something else. I believe that the little things that the nurse can do for the patient can make all the difference to the patient. No matter where the nurse is working there can always be difficult patients

Long-term care is a range of services and supports you may need to meet your personal care needs, which required extended care may need it for either a relatively short time or for a long time. “Health is the major factor in creating the need for Long-term care.

A person needing long term care may need assistance with activities of daily living (ALDLs) of eating

Are there any personal or nursing care services available in your living environment? Many aging Americans often struggle to pay for home care, assisted living and other forms of long term care. When choosing the right type of care much consideration and research should be given. In determining whether one must self-fund their care can be a process which can leave the door open for many unanswered questions. Questions like, what is the expected cost, will Medicare help to cover any cost, or can

Knowledge Here are the key things I found in recent research about hospitals. Hospitals are health care facilities that provide specialized services to communities and notably they have advanced from the historical stage of warehouses designed to take care of the poor, ill, and homeless (Williams & Torrens, 2008). Hospitals have advanced through technology that has allowed for more specialized clinics, growth of specialized services, new medical treatments, and new surgical devices. New technology

The long-term care system is aimed at providing continued care to individuals both in facilities and at home. Many people associate long-term care specifically with nursing and assisted living facilities, but long-term care is so much more. This care can be provided to an individual whether they are home or in a specialized facility (National Institute on Aging, 2017). In essence, the system of long-term care involves the coordination of facilities, providers, and case manager support to provide

Introduction The creation of Long-term care facilities transpired back in the early centuries as a shelter for the aging population. Compared to as very similar to the types of long-term care facilities we have today, those who resided in these homes were aging, had no homes of their own, or had disabilities that prevented them living on their own. The current living conditions of long term care facilities and the involvement of family and staff members has created a barrier that is hindering residents’
