I think that when most people hear "long term care" their first thought is of a nursing home. Nursing homes certainly are a significant part of long term care facilities, but they are not only thing that long term care pertains to. Long term care is anything where a person will be treated for an extended period of time, such as a rehab facility, home health care, hospice and many other facilities.
To me this means that because these facilities will be treating people for an extended period of time that there is even more of a reason for them to be ran with the upmost level of care and attention. Some of these people may spend their life using these facilities, and others will be ended their life there. So I believe that you should be making sure that all their needs are met, and I believe that you start with that by having good administration. If a facility is not ran properly from the top then there is not much hope that all the other departments will be doing a good job.
