Acute vs. Long-Term Care. Acute care and long-term care represent two ends of the spectrum in the continuum of care. Acute care is medical care designed to treat and/or cure an acute condition, for example, a heart attack or stroke. Treatment is usually provided by a doctor in a hospital. Long-term care, on the other hand, includes skilled, therapeutic and personal care services and supports that may be needed by a person whose physical and/or mental condition limits their ability to function independently.
