Long-term care home foundations fight to shield residents from COVID-19, isolation

Across Canada, long-term care homes have been hit particularly hard during the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving facilities scrambling to deal with the costs of protecting residents from contracting the potentially deadly virus. The first wave of the pandemic killed more than 1,800 long-term care residents in Ontario. At the beginning of May, deaths in LTC homes accounted for more than 80 per cent of the deaths from COVID-19 in Canada. St. Patrick s Home of Ottawa is a 288-bed, long-term care home that provides assisted living and respite care. It’s also one of the oldest homes for the aged in Ontario. So far, it’s weathered the pandemic better than most, but not without going above and beyond to keep its residents safe, connected and well-cared for.
