Yes, people who at baseline required skilled nursing services, people who cannot transfer on their own, require daily dialysis, are in locked behavior units due to neurocognitive disorders like Alzheimers or Dementia Lewy Body.
Ok then if we are going to put people who can't care for themselves in a tent and ignore their dialysis, ignore their incontinence, not monitor insuline in people unable to do so, or people who are otherwise "keepalives" then why triage and provide treatment in the first place?
Your answer is make tents and turn them into skilled nursing facilities and send people to tent nursing homes? And health insurance are supposed to approve treatments provided in uncertified locations? Are locked tents good enough for being a locked unit?
If the answer is send them to tents then why treat them to begin with? And if we aren't treating we are just leaving them where they are.
I feel like your answer would lead to a bunch of tent hospices. Sending people places you know they will fail is very bad.
Also they have rights to go home. They have to be evicted like the rest of us. If nusing homes can evict to covid so can every other landlord. They are treated the same as far as resident rights. You get 30 days for eviction and the facility has to find you a place to go since it is a medical discharge.
Most SNF/LTAC/Nursing homes around here require 2 negative tests and then they take them. Does your facility not have similar system? Honestly we aren’t having too tough a time placing people
