The CDC states that those at higher-risk for severe illness from COVID-19 are:
People 65 and older
People of any age who have a serious underlying medical condition
People who live in nursing homes and long-term care facilities
Hospice care has a long and successful history of caring for medically fragile older adults. Hospice nurses have extensive training to prevent infections, manage pain, improve quality of life and reduce unwanted trips to the emergency room.
