A COVID-19-Dedicated Facility for the Care of Older Adults During a Health Emergency: An Italian Experience.
Older adults living in long-term care facilities (LTCF) are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. We describe the clinical characteristics, the course of disease, and the care needs of 38 non-self-sufficient adults with COVID-19 in an LTCF specially set up for those who could not be discharged home or to a standard LTCF. Residents spent an average of 30.5 days in the facility (range 4-77 days). Most of them recovered and were discharged home or to their LTCF of origin. It seems feasible to set up dedicated facilities to treat and provide assistance in the activities of daily living to older adults with COVID-19.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
