Psychological Effects of COVID-19 on the Elderly in Care Homes
COVID-19 is more severe in older age groups and in those with common age-associated comorbidities, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Therefore, the COVID-19 crisis is drastically affecting the quality of life of older adults, especially those living in retirement homes. In their effort to prevent infections, retirement homes have been forced to separate residents from the outside world and to reduce their activities and programs. These decisions have impacted residents’ wellbeing and mental health.
