COVID-19 and the Impact on Senior Living Options
Senior living options are not allowing visitors into their communities to keep their residents safe. Only those that are vital to operations and care of residents can enter and are being screened. They are keeping abreast of changing conditions.
Support for Residents
• Residents in senior living are having meals delivered to their apartments. As a result, residents are socially distant from one another.
• Senior living options staff are providing ways for families to connect with their loved ones virtually.
• Staff are providing ways so residents aren’t isolated.
• Check regularly with what is posted on their website as things are fluid.
A Loved One Needs Placement Now
If you have a loved one in a health crisis, some options are allowing emergency admissions/move ins. In that case, we are happy to facilitate virtual tours of senior living options. This allows you to ask questions and see the community. You can get a lot more information than looking at a website. Choice Connections can narrow the options where there is availability and capability for an emergency move in.
Clients that Have Reserved an Apartment and a Move Was Planned
For our clients that are not in an emergency, your move in will likely be deferred. We have or will be in touch with you if that is your situation.
