An updated, comprehensive guide to long-term care in Tennessee, including information on how to select a nursing home, is available to the public free of charge from the Tennessee Health Care Association.
The Guide to Long-term Care in Tennessee is a booklet explaining the services and types of care available not only in nursing homes but also in each of the other care settings that make up the continuum of long-term care. It covers payment options, including information on Medicare and Medicaid and an introduction to long-term care insurance options. Also, families will find a wealth of information useful in dealing with the emotional issues involved in seeking long-term health care.

THCA/TNCAL’s Convention & Trade Show is the association’s signature event of the year, a time when Tennessee’s long-term care professionals can come together for education, networking, and a true sense of community. This year, however, the COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges unlike any our industry has seen before. THCA’s Board of Directors and staff have been considering the feasibility of holding a major event amid social distancing recommendations, restrictions on large gatherings, and the particular dangers of the virus to the elderly population.
