Concern over the coronavirus is growing as a significant outbreak in the United States becomes increasingly likely. According to researchers, residents in nursing homes and other adult care facilities are particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus due to their age, pre-existing medical conditions, and frequent exposure to facility staff, other residents, and visitors to their facility.
This page provides information and resources to help residents and those who work with them. We will endeavor to keep it up to date with the latest information about federal guidance for nursing homes and other developments related to protecting people in residential care settings.
