“Investing in private rooms may have prevented nearly a third of COVID-19 long-term care infections, deaths: analysis,” by Amy Novotney, McKnight’s Senior Living

Quote:  “Greater investment in proper infrastructure, including private rooms and adequate staffing, likely would have gone a long way in protecting long-term care residents from COVID-19 outbreaks, an international group of researchers has found.”

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

The LTC provider business is moving fast toward private rooms. That means care will be even more expensive in the future than otherwise. It also makes private LTC insurance protection more important than ever.
