Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assuring quality of care residents in long-term care facilities has been a serious and continuing concern of policymakers for decades. The Older Americans Act's long-term care ombudsman program is a consumer advocacy model intended to improve quality of care by developing the 2.5 million residents of almost 67,000 nursing and other residential care facilities resolve complaints about their care and protect rights. Despite broad recognition of its value in assisting residents and its efforts to complement federal and state oversight of long-term care facilities, some observers and concerned about the program's ability to meet its legislative mandates. Limited funding affects the ability of many states to meet minimum staffing goals recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Also, in most states, ombudsmen do not conduct regular quarterly visits to long-term facilities. The background paper discusses the role of long-term care ombudsmen and highlights selected issues regarding the capacity of the program to promote quality care and advance the rights of residents.
