No “healthy aging” when 80% of RI coronavirus deaths are in nursing homes.
On Wednesday mornings, the RI Lieutenant Governor, DanMcKee, hosts a conference call with local leaders in healthy aging and long-term care to discuss efforts and resources related to COVID-19. On these calls, they’ve heard updates from the Rhode Island Office of Healthy Aging, the Alzheimer’s Association Rhode Island Chapter, local senior centers and others.
