HCS 437 Week 3 Long-Term Care Facility Study Outline
Each student must visit a long-term care facility in his or her own community. Students must create a list of facilities they would like to visit and submit this to their instructor for approval before making arrangements to conduct the visit. After receiving approval, students should contact that facility in order to schedule their visit as soon as possible.
