[Barriers to entry into Ehpad since the Covid-19 crisis: a qualitative study of people over 65 in Marseille]. / Freins à l'entrée en Ehpad depuis la crise Covid-19 : étude qualitative auprès de personnes âgées de plus de 65 ans à Marseille.

ABSTRACT

From the outset of the Covid-19 health crisis, residential care facilities for the dependent elderly (Ehpad) were faced with health and safety challenges. Strict infection prevention measures, such as visiting restrictions and the implementation of sanitary protocols, have been essential to protect residents. While Ehpad occupancy rates were stable before the health crisis, they fell sharply in the aftermath of Covid-19.
