Long-term care beds in institutions and hospitals
The number of beds in long-term care (LTC) institutions and in LTC departments in hospitals provides a measure of the resources available for delivering LTC services to individuals outside of their home. Long-term care institutions refer to nursing and residential care facilities which provide accommodation and long-term care as a package. They include specially designed institutions or hospitallike settings where the predominant service component is long-term care for people with moderate to severe functional restrictions.
