The move to a long-term care facility can be a difficult and emotional time for both seniors and their families. But by understanding the long-term care system, and informing themselves as fully as possible about all available options, seniors and their families can choose the best and most positive facility option possible –

 

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
   
a facility with appropriate cultural or religious dimensions,
  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
       
    a facility with suitable features and programs,  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
 
and a facility where residents are cared for professionally and compassionately,
    
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
       
 
encouraged to be as active as possible for as long as possible,
    
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
       
 
and treated, at all times, with friendliness, dignity, and respect.
