Long Term Care
Part 1 of a 3-Part Series
"What Does Long Term Care Mean to Me"
Defining The Issues
According to a World Health Organization report, "The problem of long term care is intensifying. Strategies for providing long term care have been low on government agendas everywhere and are completely absent in some countries. Little has been done to address the current challenges, much less to prepare for the future."
