(2) New technologies and changes to professional roles were used to meet relatives\u2019 needs for information. Residents only received information when they requested it. (3) Advance care planning was not carried out and was limited to potential hospital transfer. (4) Arrangements were made to allow relatives to spend time with residents during their final moments, but complicated grief among relatives and professionals is anticipated. (5) Management of complexity varied depending on the degree of coordination with primary care facilities. (6) Nursing home professionals felt abandoned, with a lack of human resources, equipment and training.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The pandemic cast light on existing shortcomings in nursing homes in terms of comprehensive assessments, communication, decision making, grief management and palliative care complexity.
