Description
Aurora García-Camacha Gutiérrez and co-authors compare personal care in nursing homes before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, in a 2024 study. Care tailored to each resident's habits and wishes is the heart of good nursing, and it lifts quality of life for older people. Lockdowns, staff shortages, and isolation rules may have eroded that personal touch.
The study surveyed 177 residents of long-term care centers: 87 before the pandemic and 90 after. Standard scales measured how individualized residents felt their care was, plus quality of life and the care environment. Comparing the two waves shows where the pandemic left lasting marks. Homes can use the findings to rebuild personal routines that crisis rules swept aside.
