CALTCM: California Association of Long Term Care Medicine is a nonprofit professional organization based in Los Angeles, California, serving physicians, medical directors, nurses, pharmacists, administrators, and other long-term care professionals. Established in 1975 as the California Association of Medical Directors, it rebranded in 2000 to reflect an interdisciplinary approach to promoting quality patient care across the long-term care continuum through medical leadership and education. The organization positions itself as the medical voice of long-term care in California, prioritizing ethical delivery of care, effective leadership, and patient rights, while providing education and shaping policy in the field. Its activities center on advancing quality healthcare within long-term care settings and supporting a collaborative, multidisciplinary team dedicated to individualized patient care. A recent development noted is CALTCM's ongoing initiatives, including recognition for excellence at its Summit for Excellence and exploration of pilot programs that couple data-driven community engagement with facility accountability.
