Quantity and quality of care and staff knowledge regarding people with Parkinson’s disease in long-term nursing care: “real-life” results from the German Care4PD study
Improving PwP care in German LTC facilities requires not only the general provision of more personnel and time resources but also, in particular, the development of greater expertise among LTC nursing staff to optimize care quality. The existing, but little-known, training opportunities should therefore be made known to a larger number of LTC nurses.
