Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to define new care models in order to ensure continuity of care, facing new individual and public health needs. Medicalized Hotel Facility for self-sufficient COVID patients (COVID Hotel) is a new care model introduced in many countries to face the spread of contagions and the consequent need to implement effective isolation strategies. In our experience the Hotel has given hospitality to people from the most disparate territorial settings and with a great variety of health care needs (physical, psychological, social and spiritual). Although COVID is in most cases a self-limiting acute viral disease, in a pandemic context, comprehensive geriatric assessment has proven to be particularly appropriate for the management of the COVID Hotel, also in the approach to younger patients.
