I believe our post-pandemic solutions will have to be #intergenerational and that we need to re-imagine how we live and how we care for each other.

Programs like ours play a critical role at times like this where older adults are at further risk of #socialisolation. Students offer seniors companionship, help w/ grocery shopping or tasks otherwise unmanageable during a time of #physicaldistancing cc: @aausten1967 @NICElderly

During these unprecedented times, @TOHomeshare is taking the recommended precautions to prevent the spread of #COVID19 very seriously. Due to increased risk for older adults, home visits for new home provider applications and matching meetings are postponed until further notice.
