For Seniors

Seniors

---

Throughout my career, I have fought to ensure the security of our robust social safety net so every American has something to fall back on in hard times like these. But we must redouble our efforts to protect seniors as we face this daunting and extraordinary threat. Older adults are particularly at-risk of contracting COVID-19, meaning we must take every precaution to prevent seniors from being exposed to the virus, while simultaneously helping them access essential services. 

Expanded Telehealth Accessibility

---

The CARES Act 

• Allows Medicare providers to treat patients using e-visits with both video and/or audio calls for the duration of the pandemic.

• Suspends the requirement that a doctor and a patient have a pre-existing relationship in order to provide telehealth services. 

• Reauthorizes grant programs that promote the use of telehealth services for health care facilities that currently do not have the technological capabilities to do so. 

• Allows Federally Qualified Health Centers to bill for telehealth services

• Loosens rules for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease and in hospice who are receiving telehealth services 

Many private insurers are also waiving cost-sharing of telehealth services for COVID-19 related visits.

Meal Assistance

---

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act — Congress’ Phase II legislation — provided $250 million for the Senior Nutrition Program in the Administration for Community Living (ACL), which will help facilitate the delivery of meals to low-income seniors who depend on Senior Nutrition programs.

Grocery Store Contact Information and Hours for Seniors and Vulnerable Populations

---

In response to COVID-19, many grocery stores in Connecticut have adjusted their hours and services in order to help accommodate seniors and other vulnerable populations, either through delivery services, curbside pickup, or specific shopping hours for at-risk groups. While the following stores have set aside shopping time for seniors, please contact your local grocers to see what accommodations they have made.
