The Warren Alpert Foundation committed to Harvard Medical School $1,479,838.00 for their project in “Assessing the Lasting Impact of the Pandemic on US Nursing Homes.” The funds will be used to examine the impact and complications of the Covid-19 pandemic on nursing homes. Findings from this project will assist policy makers, nursing home facilities, and medical staff to better tackle the complications the pandemic caused on facilities throughout the nation. HMS plans to examine admissions to nursing homes, effects on staffing and quality of care given to those admitted to the facility, then examining staff, residents, and families about how they believed their experience with nursing homes has been affected by the pandemic.
