Goals of Long-Term Care include: Providing a safe and supportive environment for chroni-cally ill and functionally dependent people; restoring and maintaining highest practicable level of functional independence; providing coordinated interdisciplinary care to residents who plan to return to home. The remaining options show loss of function that is likely pre-ventable and an environment that does not support autonomy and independence.
