¶ … people feel more comfortable when their loved ones are comfortable and are in environments where they feel safe and are close to the people they love. Long-term healthcare therefore provides people with this option whereby there is upholding of an individual's independence as well as their ability to continue with their normal routine as possible. Therefore the long-term healthcare aims to provide in-home care for those who crucially need it and at the same time allowing individuals to remain in the homes as long as possible, regardless of their age or disability.

Within the long-term healthcare organization there are various challenges faced, one of the issues include an intake department that lacks effectiveness when it comes to organization of referrals and relating appropriate material to the visiting nurse prior to home visit.
