It’s cold out! Make sure to check on your elderly friends, family and neighbors. It’s also a great time to teach our kids the importance of taking care of each other. Could they shovel an elderly neighbors driveway or walk for them? Or take their newspaper to their door or dog on a walk? Let’s take care of each other!

Residents living in smaller nursing homes are less likely to contract or die from COVID-19 than those who live in larger facilities, according to study results published in JAMDA on Monday.
The analysis found that non-traditional nursing homes and facilities with fewer than 50 beds had lower rates of coronavirus cases and deaths when compared to facilities with more than 50 beds. Smaller facilities reported a median rate of 0 cases per 1,000 residents, while larger nursing homes reported a rate of 0.06 cases per 1,000 residents.
Additionally, Green House modeled facilities had a median mortality rate of 0 deaths per 100 positive residents, and facilities with less than 50 residents had a median mortality rate of 10. In nursing homes with more than 50 beds, the median mortality rate was 12.5 in nursing homes with more than 50 beds.
