COVID-19对英国养老院的影响是巨大的--对工作人员、居民和痴呆症患者来说。鉴于情况迅速变化，媒体（尽管有局限性）报道了来自前线的重要见解。对三个时间点的新闻文章进行的定性分析揭示了英国养老院正在出现的危机，从仅仅关注医院护理开始，导致了悲惨的高死亡率。这种面向公众的叙述有可能：倡导增加养老院的资源;推动政府问责;强调护理实践的改善;并见证弱势群体的经历。
The impact of COVID-19 in UK care homes has been significant - for staff, residents and people with dementia. Given the rapidly changing circumstances, the media (limitations notwithstanding) have reported vital insights from the front line. A qualitative analysis of news articles across three time points reveals the story of an emerging crisis in UK care homes, beginning with a sole focus on hospital care and resulting in tragically high death rates. This public-facing narrative has potential to: advocate for increased resources in care homes; drive government accountability; highlight improvements for care practices; and bear witness to the experiences of a vulnerable population.
