- Abstract
The article presents data and analyses the situation in long-term care institutions in Austria during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The author notes that in the times of the crises the media turned its attention to the medical and nursing staff in care homes, who carried the weight of the problem in a situation that was new to everybody. Taking into account the information on the action taken according to the planned protocol from the top of the state health pyramid to the management of the care homes, the conclusion is that the instructions were effective. The analysis after the end of the first wave of the pandemic shows that the worst consequences were the lack of personal contact with relatives, as well as usual contact with caregivers, as their faces were covered with masks. The main conclusion is: It is of the utmost importance and necessary to cooperate and communicate at all levels to enable successful resolution and learning from such a crisis situation.
