The facts:
How did high-quality nursing homes manage to prevent COVID-19 deaths? CMS first offered nursing homes and assisted living facilities guidelines for preventing and managing COVID-19 cases on March 13th, 2020. Since then, these guidelines have been updated and expanded repeatedly as the public health community has learned more about the virus. The CDC’s advice is expansive but is linked by several common themes (CDC, 2020d): First, keep COVID-19 out by limiting visitors and encouraging staff to stay home when ill. Second, clean hands, surfaces, and equipment thoroughly and repeatedly. Third, staff should closely monitor residents for signs of the virus, test symptomatic individuals and close contacts, and isolate those who are symptomatic. Fourth, staff should use PPE at all times. Fifth, after vaccines became available in December of 2020, all residents and staff should be vaccinated.
