The COVID-19 Pandemic and Older Adults by Edward Alan Miller
The rapid onset of the COVID-19 pandemic presented a multi-faceted challenge to older adults, carers, and care institutions globally. Despite a wide range of policies that achieved some success in protecgting older adults from serious illness and death from COVID-19, older adults continue to bear the burden of risk for these most severe outcomes. Additionally, some early efforts to protect older adults, often via extreme isolation measures both within care facilities and in the community, yielded unanticipated health and psychosocial impacts on older adults and care and service networks and revealed systemic ageism in health and social policies worldwide.
This book compiles research conducted both during and after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic on the impacts of immediate response efforts, while delving into the longer-term differential effects across population subgroups and organizations. Four main areas examined in the volume’s 25 chapters: Flexibility and innovation in early responses; ageism and isolation; long-term care and the direct care workforce; and disparities in access and experiences.
Governments, agencies, and aging services organizations will benefit from fully considering lessons learned and incorporating them into future emergency response efforts, accounting for similarities and differences in manifestations and consequences across different subpopulations and organization and policy contexts.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
