Why does Candida auris matter when planning for long-term care?

Answer:

Infection control is one of many factors families should evaluate when choosing a nursing home, rehabilitation center or other long-term care provider. Staffing, quality ratings, rehabilitation services, emergency preparedness and financial planning all contribute to quality care. Preparing for future long-term care needs before a health crisis gives families more choices, greater control and added peace of mind. Families can also use the LTC News Caregiver Directory to compare providers and the Cost of Long-Term Care Services Calculator to better understand care costs in their area.
