Challenges in Long-Term Care

Your instructor will assign you a research article relating to the current challenges in the long-term care continuum and their impact on the current long-term care industry. Read the assigned research paper and research the South University Online Library and the Internet to learn more about the topic.

• Introduction and background of the research paper
• Stakeholders interested in the study
• Challenges in the long-term care continuum
