If there’s a silver lining to the past six weeks of restrictions on activity related to the COVID-19/coronavirus, it’s the response of Office for the Aging (OFA) and Dutchess Responds volunteers to meet the needs of the county’s seniors. It’s been impressive, and then some.
The COVID-19/coronavirus outbreak may be new to us this year, but the scammers trying to take advantage of us are all too familiar. What’s different this time? Due to the physical distancing necessary for safety, it’s harder for seniors to stay connected with their usual network of friends, family and neighbors.
Our oldest seniors, who lived through World War II and the Great Depression, may be the only ones alive who have experienced challenges anything like what we’re seeing now, as Dutchess County and the nation adapt to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.
