Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the daily lives of older adults. Three case reports illustrate how individuals have coped with loss, maintained routines, and faced emotional challenges. Understanding these experiences can guide efforts to promote the well-being and resilience of older adults during this time. Interview questions included "What was your daily routine and any leisure activities you participated in before COVID-19? During the height of social distancing?" to explore the impact of this pandemic on older adults' daily routines and the effects on their mental and physical health.
