Summary: "Long-term care administrators have a strong influence on the quality of healthcare services available to America's aging population and others in need of long term care, providing quality leadership in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and similar environments where skilled nursing is required. These senior-level managers establish healthcare standards, make strategic policy decisions, and implement personnel management procedures so as to support their overall vision for quality long-term care. As the baby boomer population enters retirement, long-term care services and their associated costs must rise to meet the demand. As a result, long-term care administrators who can ensure quality patient care and efficient healthcare operations will be more important than ever. Additionally, a continued decline in occupancy of skilled nursing facilities (per National Investment Conference or NIC) and the explosive growth of assisted living and related non-institutional care settings has changed the sector's market and environment. This text is aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of the long-term care field as it exists today, of the changes taking place in the continuum now and in the near future, and of the skills managers need to survive and prosper"--
