Long Term Solutions (LTS), a nationally recognized healthcare network that specializes in helping families address the care needs of their loved ones, has extended its special savings offer through May 23. Get an additional two months of membership by enrolling now in the LTS Select Provider Network. That equates to 14 months for the $299 annual rate.

Franchises that have registered nurses (RN) on staff may also want to take advantage of LTS's Nursing Assessment Program. LTS places assessment cases with a national network of RN subcontracting agencies. Through this relationship, agencies send their RNs to meet with policy holders and evaluate and assess their current care needs. LTS provides their RN field assessors with the assessment paperwork needed to complete the visit and the appropriate contact information to schedule appointments with providers. Fees for this service vary, so contact LTS for more information.

To learn more about LTS, enroll in the Select Provider Network, or learn how much business was generated in your area last year, email Michael Grenier at MGrenier@LongTermSol.com.
