Aging During a Pandemic
Older individuals are feeling the loneliness of the pandemic set in as many are not allowed to see their family members. With the holiday season passed, many older adults were not allowed to see their family during the holidays that they held close to their hearts for decades. Because of this increased separation from their families and decreased social contact, families have been taking their loved ones out of group home settings. However, with this shift to back-to-house settings, there will be more burdens placed on families financially, physically, and mentally.
