| Annotation | Much has changed in the long-term care in the US in the last 10 years or so, with greater emphasis on home and community services probably at the expense of nursing home use. The author discusses those issues that continue to dominate: service delivery, quality assurance and finance. He concludes that "the elephant in the room" still not receiving enough attention is the workforce and the problems of shortages, low pay, and poor job prospects. (RH). |
