💙 November is National Long-Term Care Awareness Month. 💙 Residents of LTC facilities and the staff who treat them face numerous healthcare challenges: 🏥 49% of residents have been diagnosed with 2–3 common chronic conditions -- diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses -- that require ongoing testing, monitoring, and specialized care. 🏥 One-half have high blood pressure. 🏥 Influenza and other respiratory illnesses spread quickly among LTC staff and residents. LTC staffing shortages can make it hard for these vulnerable populations to access the healthcare they need and deserve. Primary.Health helps to close LTC care gaps and support staff with easy, affordable diagnostic testing, vaccinations, and preventive screenings.
