Background:
there is a trend across Europe to enable more care at the community level. The Acute Geriatric Community Hospital (AGCH) in the Netherlands in an acute geriatric unit situated in a skilled nursing facility (SNF). It provides hospital-level care for older adults with acute medical conditions. The aim of this study is to identify barrier...
Little is known about how COVID-19 affects older patients living at home or how it affects district nursing teams providing care to these patients. This study aims to (1) explore, from the perspectives of Dutch district nurses, COVID-19′s impact on patients receiving district nursing care, district nursing teams, and their organisations during the...
Purpose
The acute geriatric community hospital (AGCH) in an intermediate care facility is an alternative to conventional hospitalization. A comprehensive geriatric assessment and rehabilitation are integrated into acute medical care for older patients. This study aims to evaluate patient experience and satisfaction with the AGCH.

We aimed to assess the contribution of a- and presymptomatic residents and healthcare workers in transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in nursing homes. We conducted two serial point-prevalence surveys, including standardized symptom assessment and nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal testing for SARS-CoV-2, among 297 residents and 542 healthcare workers of three...
Purpose
Geriatric Emergency Medicine (GEM) focuses on delivering optimal care to (sub)acutely ill older people. This involves a multidisciplinary approach throughout the whole healthcare chain. However, the underpinning evidence base is weak and it is unclear which research questions have the highest priority. The aim of this study was to provide a...
Background: Nursing homes (NH) residents with COVID-19 can either be tested because of presence of core symptoms (fever, cough, dyspnea) (S-based) or because of transmission prevention (TP-based). We described the clinical presentation and course of COVID-19 in NH residents who were tested either because of presence of core symptoms (S-based) or be...
Objectives
Initially, for preventing COVID-19 transmission in long-term care facilities (LTCF) primarily rely on presence of core symptoms (fever, cough, dyspnea), but LTCF residents may also show an atypical course of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. We described the clinical presentation and course of COVID-19 in LTCF residents who were tested either beca...
Background
This study aimed to assess the contribution of asymptomatic and presymptomatic residents and staff in SARS-CoV-2 transmission during a large outbreak in a Dutch nursing home.
Methods
Observational study in a 185-bed nursing home with two consecutive testing strategies: testing of symptomatic cases only, and weekly facility-wide testing o...
Purpose
Many nursing homes worldwide have been hit by outbreaks of the new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We aimed to assess the contribution of a- and presymptomatic residents and healthcare workers in transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in three nursing homes.
Methods
Two serial point-prevalence surveys, 1 week apart, among...

... The demands of the work environment were higher in COTS 2 for female nurses and nursing assistants. This finding is aligned with that of Veldhuizen et al., in which nurses continued to suffer from issues related to work pressure 1 year into the pandemic [22]. As for social support from peers and superiors, men were more impacted in COTS 2 than in COTS 1. ...

... [85À88] Similar difficulties have been reported in several studies where residents were asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis and subsequently developed symptoms during the course of illness and required supervised coordinated care. [38,49,55,67] Care homes have comparatively higher rates of dementia, delirium, and cognitive dysfunctional co-morbidities. The challenge of isolating and managing older adult persons with COVID-19 in such environments is critical and requires skilled care and supervision. ...

... Based on eighteen studies with reliable sex distribution data, the mean proportion of female residents was 55% (n = 3037). [11,26,31,[35][36][37]39,40,43,44,46,48,49,55,57,58,63,67] Twenty-two studies reported a mean age, and the pooled mean age of residents was 81.5 years. [11,13,24 outbreaks (58%), the index case was a resident, and various staff or visitor categories (e.g. ...
