Impact of COVID-19 on 'Living Well' with Mild-to-Moderate Dementia in the Community: Findings from the IDEAL Cohort

Linda Clare et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on community-dwelling individuals with mild-to-moderate dementia and compared their responses with pre-pandemic data. The results showed negative impacts on cognitive and functional skills, self-care and everyday activities, increased loneliness, and a decline in perceived capability to live well. However, compared to pre-pandemic data, there were lower levels of pain, depression, and anxiety, higher levels of optimism, and better satisfaction with family support. The study suggests efforts to mitigate the negative impacts by focusing on reablement, social contact, and personalized planning.

Providing health services effectively during the first wave of COVID-19: A cross-country comparison on planning services, managing cases, and maintaining essential services ?

Erin Webb et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has presented sudden challenges for health care providers, who have had to plan for and manage an increase in COVID-19 cases while still providing essential health services. Despite variations in health and care services, many countries have implemented similar responses such as managing mild cases in outpatient settings, increasing the use of remote consultations, and postponing non-urgent services during the first wave. Moving forward, countries will need to continue balancing care for COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients and consider whether the strategies adopted during the pandemic will become permanent features of care provision.

Summary: The study found that patients living with dementia and their carers faced many difficulties in remote healthcare experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, including proactive care needs, avoidance of healthcare settings and services, and obstacles encountered in remote healthcare. They generally felt that check-up calls were reassuring but lacked in scope and content.
