Covid turned the nation's eye to nursing homes. Have we already looked away? When the Covid-19 pandemic began tearing across the country, it hit nursing homes hard. More than 200,000 residents and staff members at long-term care facilities have died from the disease. But as this week’s “First Opinion Podcast” guests point out, the care of nursing home residents and support for those providing that care have been long-standing issues.

They were part of a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee charged with making “bold, actionable recommendations to improve nursing home care.” Listen Now Like what you hear?
