Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Health Policy

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic revealed significant systemic challenges within Canadian long-term care (LTC) settings.
  • While mortality rates garnered attention, the pandemic severely affected the mental health of LTC residents, exacerbating pre-existing conditions like cognitive disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadian long-term care residents' mental health.
  • To evaluate the role of newly developed National Standards of Canada in addressing these challenges and promoting holistic resident care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of pandemic-related impacts on LTC residents.
  • Analysis of newly established National Standards of Canada for long-term care.

Main Results:

  • The pandemic underscored the critical need for improved mental health support in LTC.
  • New National Standards offer practical guidance for enhancing care beyond physical needs, supporting residents as whole persons.
  • Existing standards indirectly support mental health, but explicit recognition as a human right is needed.

Conclusions:

  • Meaningful implementation of National Standards requires multi-level efforts, including federal and provincial investments, policies, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Future standards development must prioritize mental health as a fundamental human right and essential component of quality of life in LTC.
  • Canadian Standards will guide the transformation towards high-quality, person-centered care in long-term care settings.
