Long term care (LTC) can be described as the continuous health care of individuals with chronic physical and/or mental ailments. These services can be delivered through assisted living facilities, nursing homes, hospices or at home from home health aides. For some health care professionals LTC consists of nothing more than providing health services over an extended period of time. To me LTC is more than providing a service to clients over an extensive duration of time. It also involves supplying a high quality of treatment, setting and achieving realistic goals and directly or indirectly uplifting the emotional state of each client over the course of their respective stint. Letting the patient know that they are respected individuals will facilitate an environment in which they are able mentally and physically heal.
