Care in a facility for people who need 24-hour skilled care because they often have difficulty caring for themselves.

• A. Long Term Care (LTC)
• B. Home Health
• C. Hospice
• D. Acute Care

Answer: (A)

Providing care in a facility for people who need constant, around-the-clock supervision and help with daily activities describes long-term care. These facilities are designed for ongoing support and skilled nursing needs, often for extended periods, because residents may have difficulty managing tasks like bathing, dressing, eating, and mobility, along with medical monitoring.

Other options don’t fit this setting as well. Care given at home is typically intermittent and home-based, not a 24-hour facility arrangement. Hospice focuses on comfort and end-of-life support, usually outside the scope of ongoing daily living assistance in a facility. Acute care refers to hospital-level treatment for short-term, acute illnesses or injuries, not long-term residency with continuous care.
