When it comes to long term care for seniors, the image is often an all-in-one facility that serves both the health and lifestyle needs of the residents. However, the term “Long Term Care Communities” (LTC) encompasses many different types of senior living facilities, including skilled nursing facilities (SNF), assisted living (AL) and independent living (IL) facilities, adult foster care (AFC), and subsidized housing. Catering to the wide range of abilities, interests, and medical conditions of senior living residents also means a lot of moving parts and potential for risk. In addition, each type of senior living facility has its own set of unique state and federal rules and regulations, meaning that managing risk in each type of LTC setting has a unique set of challenges.
