[quote=Anonymous]Most of these facilities are managing the care of their very vulnerable residents with as much caution as possible. But there is no way for these care facilities to completely keep COVID-19 away from their residents. The healthcare workers do their best to exercise caution, but with their residents coming back and forth from other medical facilities, being transferred in from lower care situations a virus can get introduced into the facility pretty easy. Add in the fact, that many of the residents have dementia and aren't always behaving in a rational, reasoned way towards the staff and other residents - that really complicates the situation. Even in a home environment, the residents are vulnerable to becoming infected because their caregivers are in/out of the house and the person is at risk of infection every time they are taken to a medical facility to see a doctor.
