‘We are still not prepared’: B.C. care home advocates call for action amid recommendations
The province needs to improve long-term care safe staffing guidelines and family involvement in pandemic-strategy decisions, according to a report from University of British Columbia researchers and the BC Care Providers Association.
“One of the recommendations that is probably key, there is a relatively urgent need to re-evaluate the staffing requirements — the hours of care per resident per day requirements — for the sector in light of some of these changes in the context of the pandemic.” “Why are we all surprised that what happened during the pandemic really happened? We were not prepared. And we are still not prepared,” Keselman said.
“There is a group of us working on this… These are not recommendations that are just going to be lost,” Havaei said. The report makes recommendations about six topics, including staffing, workplace support, communication, visitation, infection control, screening and infrastructure.
