What is a Long Term Care Consultation? A Long Term Care Consultation (LTCC) can help people make decisions about long-term care needs. This service helps people stay in their homes and receive help through
alternatives to nursing facilities.
- Long-term care consultants help people choose services and supports that meet the needs of the individual and their family.
- A Long Term Care Consultation incorporates the expertise of both social workers and public health nurses.
- A face-to-face meeting may be required to set up services, but a phone call with one of our Long Term Care staff can help you learn about what is available.
What is included in a Long Term Care Consultation?
The LTCC assesses an individual’s health status and level of independence in key areas of daily living. The LTCC can also include:
- information about local long-term care options
- information about public and private programs that can provide services

- transition assistance to relocate people currently in nursing facilities
- assessment and support planning for people considering community-based services
