Frontiers of Care: Inside the Long-Term Care Crisis
When the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in Canada, staff at Mount Sinai Hospital were anticipating a rise of cases in acute care. Instead, the immediate crisis arose elsewhere: inside long-term care homes, affecting some of Canada's most vulnerable residents. Hospitals were paired with long-term care homes to slow the tide of rising case counts. Two healthcare professionals from Mount Sinai Hospital walk us through their involvement in one long-term care home's COVID-19 journey. Learn about the lessons, innovations, and emotions they experienced as they worked tirelessly to help workers and residents.
Guests:
Dr. Nathan Stall is a geriatrician at Mount Sinai Hospital. He is also a research fellow at the University of Toronto, with an interest in older adults, people living with dementia and residents of long-term care homes.
Carla Loftus is a clinical nurse specialist in psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital. She holds an adjunct clinical appointment at the Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing at the University of Toronto.
