Long-term
care is an increasingly important and rapidly changing component of today’s social
services delivery system. Long-term care services and programs have evolved into a variety
of institutional and noninstitutional modalities. The NASW Standards for Social Work
Services in Long-Term Care Facilities reflect changing practices and policies and may
be regarded as a basic tool for social work practice in long-term care facilities,
although practice priorities may vary among settings. Information is also available online
at www.socialworkers.org.
