Zusammenfassung:Since the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), there have been few deadlier places than in nursing homes.

We discuss how these measures instituted for infection control can be synergistic with person-centered care which has been synonymous with quality of care in nursing homes.
