The current coronavirus pandemic health crisis has upended many people’s plans and created uncertainty, especially for seniors who were evaluating alternative living arrangements, including outside of their long-time home, because they needed more assistance. The added concerns about infection has added further anxiety to this decision. For many seniors who are most susceptible to COVID-19, staying home is a very viable option – but they may need extra support to make it work.
