Summary
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is keeping people apart, which can take a toll on physical and mental health. Many healthcare professionals are concerned vulnerable seniors may become deconditioned, which substantially increases risk of health complications and need for hospitalization. To address the immediate impact of COVID-19 policies (i.e., physical distancing, reduced access to care), the GERAS Frailty Rehabilitation model will be adapted to be delivered remotely in the homes of vulnerable seniors. The investigators' aim is to understand how to best build resilience among vulnerable seniors in the community through at-home rehabilitation services (socialization, exercise, nutrition, and medication support).
