High mortality rate for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been reported worldwide in nursing home residents, and the global concern about the safety of patients and professionals in these institutions is relevant. A large part of post-acute and chronic patient care in Brazil is performed at home through Home Care (HC) services. The objectives of this chapter are to describe the main measures that can be implemented in patient homes in order to keep professionals, patients, and family members safe and to analyze the safety of choosing the home as the place of care during a pandemic, especially in contrast to the results observed in long-term care facilities. COVID-19 infection data among home care patients, obtained after a year of severe epidemic in Brazil, demonstrate that home care is safe and is associated with a low incidence and low lethality related to the new coronavirus.

Background:Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments (CGAs) incorporate the key principles of integrated care delivery, which is regarded as the most effective approach of care provisioning to face challenges of dementia care, such as uncoordinated care, risk of hospitalizations, care planning and unmet needs. For this reason, implementing CGAs in care practice might be highly relevant, however, to do so, we must consider their psychometric characteristics.Research Objective:To provide insight into the content and the reliability and validity of CGAs used in long-term care and home care settings.Method:A search strategy was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science, targeting studies that have focused on the validity and reliability of available CGAs for long-term and home care settings. Studies in English and Spanish and published up to July 13, 2021, were considered.Preliminary results of the ongoing study:A total of 72 studies reporting on the validity/reliability of 13 different CGAs were identified. For long-term care facilities, five CGAs were reported; for home care, eight assessment tools were targeted. Most of the CGAs covered a wide range of domains, such as Physical Health, Functional, Mental Health, and Social Status. Evidence for good to excellent validity and reliability was reported for various instruments.Conclusion:Resident Assessment Instrument-Minimum Data Set (RAI-MDS) and subsequent updated instruments reported strong evidence of good to excellent validity and reliability for multiple countries. For this reason, interRAI LTCF and interRAI HC are recommended to be use for long-term and home care facilities, as they are the latest versions of the RAI-MDS.This project is part of the Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions Innovative Training Network H2020-MSCA-ITN, under grant agreement number 813196
