Abstract

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ontario government created directives for long-term care (LTC) homes. As a result, residents were isolated in their rooms and visitors were banned. This commentary examines these practices and their impact on LTC residents and their families. A review of relevant documents showed the practices were unnecessary and physically and psychologically detrimental. Moving forward, family should be recognized as essential members of residents' care teams and allowed in LTC homes during outbreaks. This would entail providing them with the necessary protective equipment and adequate training to ensure infection prevention protocols are maintained.

权利与风险:隔离对长期护理的居民和家庭的影响。
在COVID-19大流行早期,安大略省政府制定了长期护理(LTC)之家的指令。结果,居民被隔离在自己的房间里,禁止访客。这篇评论探讨了这些做法及其对LTC居民及其家庭的影响。对有关文件的审查表明,这些做法是不必要的,对身体和心理都有害。今后,应将家人视为居民护理团队的重要成员,并允许他们在疫情期间留在长期护理中心的家中。这将需要向他们提供必要的防护设备和适当的培训,以确保遵守预防感染的规程。
