"Family and friend #caregivers in assisted living often play a key role in monitoring their loved ones as well as providing necessary social contact and support. This means visitor restrictions (under #COVID19 or otherwise) may have an even greater impact on resident health and well-being than we have seen in long-term care."

Professionals who encounter #caregivers in their work are invited to join us on November 24th for a panel presentation and discussion forum! Experts will share their findings on the impacts of #COVID19 on caregivers and lead a discussion on how professionals can help support family caregivers. #Register bit.ly/2UK79qV
