“…Researchers have explored approaches for communicating guidance and safety information during the pandemic to older adults, given they were at one time one of the most impacted groups. These efforts have explored how older adults navigate information for vaccination ( Ankenbauer & Lu, 2021 ) and contact tracing ( Wagner et al, 2021 ) as well as tools that can reduce efforts in findings information ( Chun et al, 2021 ; Saleem et al, 2020 ). However, our findings suggest opportunities and a need to identify strategies to assist individuals with the management of crisis-related information more broadly in relation to community rules and guidance.…”

In this paper, we explore older adults’ experiences moving daily social activities online in a senior independent living community during the early stages (March 2020–June 2020) of the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States. We present findings of a semi-structured interview study with eight older adult residents where we discuss their needs and how they used technology to support and adapt during the phase of required physical distancing. Our findings suggest that participants felt well supported by their organization and community, and found information and communication technologies (ICTs) that were useful for supporting the transition. However, some participants felt that they did face challenges and the ability to adapt may have been influenced by technology access and residents’ prior established ties within the community. Based on our findings, we reflect on how we might better support older adults living in community settings in future crisis.
