COVID-19大流行导致长期护理院（LTCH）的死亡人数大幅增加。生活在LTCH的痴呆症患者是加拿大最脆弱和最边缘化的人群之一。LTCH中COVID-19病例的激增以及大流行期间医疗资源的配给，加大了LTCH中姑息治疗和临终护理的改善需求。这份立场声明由加拿大阿尔茨海默病协会委托的一个工作组创建，为在COVID-19大流行期间及以后改善生活在LTCH的痴呆症患者的姑息治疗和临终护理提供了多管齐下的协调方法建议。
COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant increase in deaths in long-term care homes (LTCH). People with dementia living in LTCHs represent one of the most frail and marginalized populations in Canada. The surge of COVID-19 cases in LTCHs and rationing of health-care resources during the pandemic have amplified the pre-existing need for improvements in palliative and end-of-life care in LTCHs. This position statement, created by a task force commissioned by the Alzheimer Society of Canada, provides recommendations for a multipronged coordinated approach to improving palliative and end-of-life care of people with dementia living in LTCHs during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
