| Long-Term Care Consultation (LTCC)Services help people make decisions about and determine eligibility for services related to long-term care. Consultants help people and their families choose services that reflect their needs and preferences. |
How does it work? |
|
Services are provided locally. Long term care consultation is typically provided by a team made up of at least one social worker and one public health nurse. This team provides:
|
- Information and education about local long-term care options
- An in-person visit to assess needs and help plan services
- Information about public programs that can help pay for services
- Transition assistance for people who want to return to community settings after admission to a facility
|
| No person or their family can be charged for an initial assessment and support planning visit, whether provided in the community to avoid nursing facility admission or provided as transition assistance to return to the community. |
The LTCC team will make recommendations for community services or nursing facility admission when community-based services are not feasible; the person makes the final decision about services.
