ABSTRACT
This reprinted chapter originally appeared in Journal of Gerontological Social Work, 2020, 63[6-7], 635-637. (The following of the original article appeared in record 2021-00510-015.) This letter recommends the following policy strategies to enable the shift toward home care. First, efforts should be made to keep older persons healthy at home as long as possible, for example, by collaborating with primary health-care providers such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists to provide appropriate medical services. Next, given that the transmission risk is particularly high between people in close contact, it is necessary to employ technological aids and minimize face-to-face contact. Finally, considering the potential for outbreaks based in adult daycare centers, which offer social and recreation services for older adults staying in their own communities, these centers should require staff and users to adhere to hygiene rules such as washing hands thoroughly, wearing masks, and keeping distance from one another.
