Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
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.

State regulatory provisions for residential care settings

Pages : 16
Book Description
Residential care settings (RCSs), such as assisted living facilities, provide community-based services for older adults and younger people with disabilities who require long-term services and supports. Within RCSs, staffing adequacy is a key factor for ensuring residents’ quality of care. However, because residential care settings are licensed and regulated by the states, staffing requirements vary considerably among states. This paper provides an overview of state regulations related to staffing in residential care, highlighting the variance among state regulations. The primary data source for this analysis was the Compendium of Residential Care and Assisted Living Regulations and Policy, 2015 Edition, funded by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation/US Department of Health and Human Services. Consumers and regulators need to be aware of the state variance in RCS staffing requirements and assess whether a state’s staffing requirements are adequate to meet residents’ needs.
