Description
Summary:A follow-up cross-sectional study was conducted continuing to explore the experiences of older adults residing in cohousing communities in the United States (U.S.) during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the initial study (P1) most participants did not feel lonely or left out but did feel isolated. In the follow-up study (P2) similar results were obtained but a higher percentage of participants felt isolated and were more likely to have self-isolated at some point in time. Many reported that living in cohousing was beneficial to them, both in providing support and allaying stressors related to the pandemic.
