Reporter Jan Ransom’s father was the fourth resident of his nursing home to get COVID-19. Nobody told her about the first, so she couldn’t move him before he got sick. “I think that’s very unfair,” her father told her a week before he died.
Lots of great points about how to re-imagine long-term care in this op-ed from @AmitAryaMD.

2. Staff continuity to promote better relationships
3. Decent wages
4. More staff
5. More funding for home carehttps://t.co/QjbbB08CI5
