| Abstrakt: | The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled growing concerns about the long-term impacts on outcomes in older adults including social isolation and declines in cognitive health. Prior to the pandemic, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) released a nationwide request for information to understand how community-based organizations monitor changes in cognitive status for homebound older adults. This Perspective describes strategies reported by community-based organizations to monitor cognitive status in homebound older adults and notes the potential for technology to mitigate the risk of social isolation and delays in observing cognitive decline, considerations that are especially relevant during COVID-19 amid social distancing requirements. |
