dc.description.abstractAs COVID-19 curves plateau and fall, the full extent of the tragedy occurring in our nation’s 15,000 nursing homes is being revealed. In many areas of the country, nursing homes (often referred to as “long-term care facilities”) have struggled against nearly insurmountable odds, with reduced staffing levels due to illness, inadequate testing and personal protective equipment (PPE), and mounting morbidity and mortality.
