Among the issues confronting America is long-term care for frail, older persons and others with chronic conditions and functional limitations that limit their ability to care for themselves. Improving the Quality of Long-Term Care takes a comprehensive look at the quality of care and quality of life in long-term care, including nursing homes, home health agencies, residential care facilities, family members and a variety of others. This book describes the current state of long-term care, identifying problem areas and offering recommendations for federal and state policymakers. Who uses long-term care? How have the characteristics of this population changed over time? What paths do people follow in long term care? The committee provides the latest information on these and other key questions. This book explores strengths and limitations of available data and research literature especially for settings other than nursing homes, on methods to measure, oversee, and improve the quality of long-term care. The committee makes recommendations on setting and enforcing standards of care, strengthening the caregiving workforce, reimbursement issues, and expanding the knowledge base to guide organizational and individual caregivers in improving the quality of care.

Twenty years ago long-term care meant a nursing home. But not anymore! The world of long-term care has expanded to include everything from home care to skilled nursing services, from assisted living residences to intermediate care. In fact, right now long-term care is the fastest growing segment in the health care market, and for the consumer, long-term care offers a world of options. But these options can be confusing and the questions many. How much care is needed? Where is the best place to receive it? Can the family provide care in the home? Will Medicare pay for it? What is the difference between a retirement and assisted living facility? Is long-term-care insurance a good investment? How should long-term-care options be evaluated? In Long-Term Care and Its Alternatives you'll learn what to look for when evaluating services and facilities; what community agencies and organizations offer you their services; the pros and cons of home health care, independent living, continuing care communities, and assisted living residences; how to pay for long-term care without going bankrupt; the questions to ask before making a long-term-care decision; and what the federal and state government can do to help you out. Long-Term Care and Its Alternatives may be the most valuable tool you own in your walk through the long-term-care maze. Written in an easy-to-read, consumer-friendly, style, the book takes you on a step-by-step tour through the myriad of long-term-care services and options.

This book explores key factors long-term care recipients have identified as impacting their quality of life and offers programmatic and policy recommendations to enhance well-being within long-term care communities. Leadership and staff who work in nursing homes and other residential care communities serve as gatekeepers to resident well-being, often without recognizing how residents’ quality of life is impacted by their decision-making. This book takes a life domain approach to build on research-based studies that document key drivers of care recipients’ quality of life, including relationships, autonomy and respect, activities and meals, environment, and care. Using a framework that enhances understanding of resident quality of life, it outlines practical, programmatic, and policy suggestions for long-term care stakeholders, such as administrators, managers, front-line staff, family members, and policy-makers, whose directives and actions impact the lived experience of long-term care residents. As such, this book serves as a roadmap for leaders and managers of long-term care communities, along with policymakers who regulate health and human services, to best structure care environments to maximize quality of life and well-being for long-term care recipients.
