Long term care facilities (LTC’s) face infection control challenges that are related but different from those of other healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics or ambulances. LTC is a more permanent situation so one goal in this setting is to make it as rich as possible given the client’s health. Clients are encouraged to move about the facility and avoid isolation to whatever degree possible.
