Short-Term Care
– Temporary or transitional
– Focused on outcomes
– Includes therapy, including but no limited to, physical, occupational and emotional
– May be required at any age
As the name suggests, short-term or transitional care is a temporary service. This can be done from your home or as an inpatient and can take anywhere from weeks to months. Short-term care refers to the care needed after a major surgery, illness, a fall, etc. This type of care is goal-focused, commonly it is to regain strength, relieve pain or heal. Short-term care is often service orientated meaning physical or occupational therapy and rehab yet, can require custodial care and assisting with activities of daily life as well.
Long-Term Care
– Palliative care
– Comfort-focused
– Includes Amenities, such as hair salons, exercise facilities, spiritual services, music programs, etc.
– Typically for older adults and seniors
In contrast to short-term care, long term care is often permanent or life long, focused on the individuals comfort and offers amenities that short-term care doesn’t. Long-term care commonly offers 24-hour service to patients who have difficulty accomplishing daily tasks on their own.
Services such as physical therapy are still offered under long-term care as well to maintain quality of life for each individual. An important part of long-term care is getting residents comfortable in their new home. We want each person to be happy, healthy. and relaxed. Because of that, long-term care also offers more amenities than short-term care. For example, social, holiday and celebration activities, spiritual services, salon services, banking opportunities and many more.
