Abstract Long term care facilities (LTC) provide ongoing care for seniors and chronically ill. To maximize the quality of the care, LTC staff must be properly trained to respond to patient care crises and communicate across departments. Although researchers have studied the leadership styles, strategies and interactions of facility administrators and nursing directors there is a substantial gap in the literature on the leadership styles and strategies employed by Directors of Social Work (DSW). The aim of this phenomenological study was to address this gap in research by exploring how DSW influenced leadership policies, prepared subordinates for crisis intervention and management, perceived that social workers influence decision making in patient care, and believed that communication amongst LTC staff about patient care could be improved.

The profound political, social and economic changes that occurred after the end of communist rule in Central Europe in 1989 had a profound influence on Czech psychiatry. In the socialist Czechoslovakia the healthcare system was fully owned, financed and organised by the state, in so-called regional institutes of healthcare. These had obligatory catchment areas of about 100 000 inhabitants and comprised in-patient as well as out-patient care facilities, including psychiatry. The main trends after 1989 were decentralisation of the healthcare system, rapid privatisation, especially of out-patient services, and financing through the newly established health insurance corporations.
