My wife's grandmother is in LTC and her family visits every day, and they constantly have to raise issues to the home, and to their credit they have been improving based on that. Not everyone has an advocate like that, so I'm not going to say the LTC system is great, it needs work and oversight, and I really would like to see where the money goes because the staff are exhausted.
But yes, they are designed for that. wife's grandma has issues which have evolved from needing occasional nurse check-ins to make sure she had her meds to needing help getting up and using the washroom, needing to be rotated in bed, pretty much full time care. The home shes in suggested it was time to move her up a floor with the next level of care because the staff on her current floor weren't equipped for it. It's much better there now where the system is set up for her needs.
I know that's just an example of one in a home that it took a couple years to get her into.
