Description
Emily Wiemers and four co-authors track how care for older adults with dementia shifted in the first pandemic year, in a 2023 study. The team used a national survey of Americans over fifty, comparing 2018 with 2020, the first year of COVID-19.
They chart paid care, family care, living with adult children, and nursing home use. To separate the virus's effect from slow trends, they used county death rates as a gauge of local severity. Early findings show a retreat from paid care and a rise in parents moving in with adult children. Comparing dementia families with other high-need families shows whether the shift hit them harder, a key question for care policy.
