With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of a possible lack of care for the elderly in nursing homes became evident. We summarize the experience of a multidisciplinary team with volunteer professionals from different specialties who carried out support for healthcare professionals in nursing homes. This team was implemented from both Primary and Specialty Care managements. Its work paradigm was proposed by our home hospitalization team, which included direct care of the most complex patients and general counselling on isolation, hygiene and preventive measures within the nursing homes. Thanks to this support, the elderly population placed there, with suspected or diagnosed COVID-19, received adequate care from an interdisciplinary team, which led part of the pressure to be released from their professional workers, and many family members were aware that there was no neglect of the elderly. Commitment from various levels of care in a coordinated effort has prevented a vulnerable population from being left unattended during the pandemic.
随着新冠疫情的到来，养老院中老年人可能缺乏照料的风险变得明显。我们总结了一个多学科团队的经验，该团队由来自不同专业的志愿专业人员组成，他们为养老院的医护人员提供支持。这个团队是由基层医疗和专科医疗管理部门共同组建的。其工作模式由我们的家庭住院治疗团队提出，包括对最复杂患者的直接护理以及关于养老院隔离、卫生和预防措施的一般咨询。由于这种支持，那些被安置在养老院且疑似或确诊感染新冠病毒的老年人群体，得到了跨学科团队的充分照料，这使得专业工作人员的部分压力得以缓解，并且许多家庭成员意识到老年人并未被忽视。各级护理部门齐心协力，避免了在疫情期间弱势群体无人照料的情况发生。
