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. Table of Contents
