Professor Lagacé can discuss the topic from a broader, sociological angle of aging. “What happened in the CHSLDs during the peak of the pandemic seems to be a situation that was, for the most part, predictable. And the lack of upstream preparation confirms the blind spot that these CHSLDs (like the frail seniors living in them) represent when it comes to quality of care and access to quality care.”
