Abstract:
Long-term care remains a formidable challenge in the spectrum of geriatric services, influenced by cultural attitudes, funding priorities, societal needs, and personal preferences. Many positive components exist in American models of long-term care, including medical directorships, mid-level practitioners, and regulatory control, however home and community-based services are relatively under-developed compared to the experiences in other countries.
