Homecare organisations employ professionals (i.e. gerontologists, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and social workers) to help their clients gain rights and supervise non-professional formal caregivers. Formal caregivers, and especially those who work closely with impaired older people, are at greater risk of infecting or being infected by SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19). During the first waves of COVID-19, older people were encouraged to stay home; and the care-burden inflicted on their caregivers has increased.

COVID-19期间照顾负担对正式照顾者心理健康的调节作用

家庭护理组织雇用专业人士（即老年病学家、护士、职业治疗师、物理治疗师和社会工作者）帮助他们的客户获得权利并监督非专业的正式护理人员。正式护理人员，尤其是与受损老年人密切合作的护理人员，感染或被 SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) 感染的风险更大。在第一波 COVID-19 期间，鼓励老年人待在家里；照料者的照料负担也增加了。
