Principal Investigator: Yulya Truskinovsky

Active Dates: 2025 – 2028

Funding Source: NIH-NIA/DHHS

Description:

This project will uncover short and longer-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of long-term care (LTC) and adverse consequences related to gaps in care. By focusing on high-need older adults in the U.S. and comparing effects for those living with and without Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), the project will provide guidance to public health officials on how to improve the stability and resiliency of LTC arrangements to meet older adult’s care needs in the context of an aging population.
