LLOYD-SHERLOCK, Peter et al. Long-term care for old age in the face of Covid-19. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2023, vol.85, n.spe, pp.169-200.  Epub 24-Fev-2023. ISSN 2594-0651.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2023.0.60454.

This article discusses how the social organization of long-term care for older persons in long-term care institutions (LTCIS) functioned during the pandemic crisis. Based on data from the 2020 Population and Housing Census, it describes Mexico’s care needs in the context of aging and the profile of LTCIS. It then examines the regulation and organization of LTCIS and the problems they faced before and during the pandemic. The framework known as CIAT is proposed as a useful tool to support LTCIS.
