Long-term care (health and social) workers are individuals who provide care to long-term care recipients. Formal long-term care (health and social) workers include nurses, as defined by the ISCO-08 classification and personal care workers (caregivers).Long-term care institutions refer to nursing and residential care facilities which provide accommodation and long-term care as a package. They include specially designed institutions or hospital-like settings where the predominant service component is long-term care and the services are provided for people with moderate to severe functional restrictions.
