Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Final Report of Nursing Homes Expert Panel
Ms Brigid Doherty:
The model being rolled out into nursing homes can be adapted to the requirements of nursing home care. However, we need to be able to assess the level of dependency in the nursing homes in order that we can match it with the right number as well as the skills mix of the staff looking after the elderly.
It is important, as we get older, that we be cared for by people with the appropriate skills.
