The satisfaction of a person living in a long-term care institution is very important. What is so important about this is the fact that these are places people go to spend the rest of their life until it’s over. Some don’t have a choice because they are terminally ill or are dying of old age. They may not get a choice in whether they have to be a nursing home or not, but they do get a choice in which nursing home they get to stay at. When a person is looking for a place where they want to spend the rest of their life, the quality of that place is very important. When I say quality, I am referring to the cost, the quality of the people employed there, and the overall quality of the care. The quality of care and the quality of life are the most important parts of choosing a long term care institution. In this literature review I will include, Types of long term care available, Misconception of quality and cost, Employment and quality, Overall quality of care, The man in charge, Fixing the problem, The regulatory system, and Issues that require further study.
Quality of Long-Term Care Institutions
Long-term care refers to a continuum of medical and social services designed to support the needs of people living with chronic health problems that affect their ability to perform everyday activities. Long-term care institutions can vary from independent homes, to assisted living homes, and to nursing homes. With all the different types of long term care facilities available it’s hard to decide which one is right for someone, especially if that person is a parent or a grandparent. The most important factor to look at is the quality of the long-term care available. When a person is looking at the quality of an institution, they are looking directly at the cost, the employees, and the overall quality of the care being
