Long-term care remains a formidable challenge in the spectrum of geriatric services, influenced by cultural attitudes, funding priorities, societal needs, and personal preferences. Many positive components exist in American models of long-term care, including medical directorships, mid-level practitioners, and regulatory control, however home and community-based services are relatively under-developed compared to the experiences in other countries.
长期护理在老年护理服务领域仍然是一项艰巨的挑战，受到文化态度、资金优先事项、社会需求和个人偏好的影响。美国的长期护理模式有许多积极的组成部分，包括医疗主任制度、中级从业者和监管控制，然而与其他国家的情况相比，基于家庭和社区的服务相对不够发达。
