Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker newyorker.com/news/dispatch/β¦

Tears in my eye on home visits today listening to caregivers say they got the vaccine. Because in addition to being primary caretakers for a family member they also work in nursing homes and hospitals. These families are my family @The_BMC @AAHCMedicine @BUgeriatrics

This is for all the nursing home residents we have lost. I promise to keep advocating for change. #ThisIsOurShot #covid19vax #paltc #Stanford #AGS

Using VA data we found a 25% reduction in all-cause mortality and 20% reduction in CV-mortality in new statin users >75 years. Same in those >90 and with dementia. Age should not be a reason to withhold statins! jamanetwork.com/journals/jamβ¦

Good article. Here's the question: If enough of us say this message enough of the time, will we get through? healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377β¦

I hate headlines like this so Iβll say it again, If an engineer builds a one winged airplane that doesnβt fly, why blame the pilot and flight crew? Our society has underresourced NHβs and responds with surveys and fines. And blame.

At least 6,900 people living in or connected to nursing homes across the U.S. have died of the coronavirus, a New York Times tally found, far more people than previously known.
About one-fifth of all U.S. virus deaths are linked to the facilities. nyti.ms/34JlR5O

#COVID19 The community is wealthy but the #NusingHome staff are still under paid. We need to #valueLTCemployees They care for our parents, grandparents, spouses, shouldnβt we pay them well to provide excellent care? Why are they paid so little? Shame on us!

Belmont, MA -- where Mitt Romney lived! It's a very wealthy community so ask yourself - how could this happen there?? Why weren't preventive measures taken before or since Covid was in MA?

More than 40% of deaths from covid in MA are in the nursing homes. Does anyone else find this such a troubling statistic? Wouldnβt we scream if 40% of deaths were in schools? What did our elders do to deserve this? Is this what we want for ourselves for the future? I hope not.

I am crying. Today we discussed how we will ration vents if needed. My mom, who helped me get to be the doc I am, would not get one bc she has dementia. I get why and agree with the strategy, but it doesnβt make it any easier. #geri #geriatrics #nursinghome #COVID
