- Summary:
- Physical, mental, or social changes in the life of an elderly person may result in a loss of self-sufficiency. Deciding how to compensate for changes-a process that often involves family members, tends, or health professionals-frequently leads to consideration of long-term care. Most of the existing literature on ethics and decision making, however, focuses on acute care and does not necessarily-apply to issues involved in choosing long-term care.
