Everywhere you look, life as we know it has undergone radical changes. Unfortunately, the stats that have been released over the past several months are showing that specific demographics are much worse off.\n\nIn particular, the elderly are at particularly high risk. The data that\u2019s been released on elderly mortality rates due to COVID-19 are nothing short of horrifying. The challenging circumstances presented by COVID-19 are drastically increased when you factor in a senior citizen\u2019s old age and possible pre-existing conditions. Another risk factor is their living environment.\n\nWhat is not <\/em>necessarily being said outright is that a major contributing aspect to these statistics is where<\/em> these seniors are residing.\n\nSome nursing homes and assisted living facilities are not properly equipped to keep the elderly safe. Although facilities may set out to meet proper safety regulations, some are failing to meet even the most basic health and safety requirements.\n\nAging in Place<\/a>, on the other hand, is an effective alternative!\n\nNot only does this way of living allow our senior citizens to age gracefully and maintain their sense of independence; it also vastly improves their chances of staying safe from COVID-19![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”20296″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n
