Long-Term Care Models in Geriatric Nursing: A Comparative Analysis and Recommendations for Optimal Care

Abstract

This review examines long-term care models in geriatric nursing and their implications for the aging population. Three primary models — home care, nursing home care, and community care — are compared and evaluated. The importance of a person-centered approach, care coordination, technology integration, and supporting family caregivers is emphasized. The review highlights the significance of geriatric nursing in providing effective and compassionate long-term care for the elderly.
