13. The Senior Living Facility where I live opened up in November of 2019.

When COVID hit as early as Mid March of 2020, residents here were shuttered in their apartments. Meals were delivered to them by staff for an additional $125 each a month for luncheon and supper of what was offered on the menu that day. All Activities were suspended until late September. Mask wearing was MANDATORY when outside of the apartment to go to Medical appointments, etc. Some of the stories I heard were terrible. Isolation was the norm and many were lonely, especially the ones in Assisted Living and Memory Care.

My husband and I moved in September of 2022. There have been some outbreaks of COVID come through, but not serious enough to warrant being shuttered in one's apartment for any length of time like months rather than 5 to 7 days. The vaccinations for COVID, Flu, RSV, Pneumonia, have been helpful. I plan to get all my shots before November when I take my trip to see friends down in Georgia for 12 days.
