This coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has forced society into either staying well away from one another or in many cases, into isolation. This necessary step is hard for many people, but for caregivers, it’s downright terrifying.

The four major categories that most caregivers fit into are people who have loved ones living in assisted living, nursing homes or other facilities; caregivers who have older parents or others living in their own homes; those who have an elder living with them (or who live in the elder’s home); and caregivers for younger adults, often our children who have special challenges with health and/or cognition.
