New Blog Post: COVID-19 Management in Long-term Care

Written By Kristen Pue

My latest PhiLab blog post—co-authored with Dan Westlake and Alix Jansen—presents the results from our recently published study on COVID-19 in long-term care. In “Does the Profit Motive Matter? COVID-19 Prevention and Management in Ontario Long-term Care Homes”, we find that for-profit long-term care homes did the worst job of protecting life during the pandemic. But nonprofits were not much better. The data reveal that government long-term care homes were associated with the best COVID-19 management outcomes, while nonprofits were in the middle. The Philab blog post reflects on why, and where we go from here.
