Here’s a one-stop website for information
Pandemic. COVID-19. Social distance. These are all terms we wish we didn’t know. And, as you’ve heard, geriatric adults are at increased risk for coronavirus.
We could all use some good news these days. VA’s Geriatrics and Extended Care website has been refreshed and updated. It is a one-stop resource for Veterans and their caregivers.
Visit www.va.gov/Geriatrics to find:
COVID-19 Resources
- What Veterans Need to Know about COVID-19
- VA COVID-19 Care Resources
- Stay Connected During COVID-19
- Make Your Wishes Known
The COVID-19 outbreak has the potential to increase stress and anxiety, both because of the fear of catching the virus and because of uncertainty about how the outbreak will affect us socially and economically. VA’s PTSD website offers resources to help manage stress and improve your well-being.
Key Website Topics
- Home and Community Services
- Residential Settings and Nursing Homes
- Paying for Long Term Care
- Making Decisions and Advance Care Planning
- Memory Loss and Brain Health, and more
