Description

When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in the United States in January of 2020, it brought with it numerous restrictions for long-term care facilities. While these facilities established such restrictions with the health and safety of their residents in mind, they came with a downside of isolating residents from their families and loved ones. This qualitative study examines the relationship between pandemic restrictions in assisted living facilities and their resulting effect on residents. Researchers conducted an in-depth interview with individuals who lived in assisted living facilities throughout the pandemic. The study will shed light on these unheard stories and provide future recommendations and directions for long-term care facilities and clinical researchers alike.
