Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on those who live, work, and visit nursing homes. One of the greatest challenges in the pandemic has been balancing the need to protect our most vulnerable older citizens (residents) in nursing homes and providing individualized care to residents. The purpose of this study is explore the experiences of nursing home staff, residents, and family caregivers around person-centered care when infection prevention and control protective measures were implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic including the present. By gaining their experiences and perspectives, this will allow us to develop recommendations to support resident care and resident well-being while maintaining infection prevention and control protocols in Canadian nursing homes.
