ABSTRACT
This reprinted chapter originally appeared in Journal of Gerontological Social Work, 2020, 63[6-7], 642-643. (The following of the original article appeared in record 2021-00510-017.) A nursing home resident and nursing home advocate, describes her personal experience and perspectives about living in a nursing home in Massachusetts, USA during the COVID-19 pandemic. She feels strongly that the money for long-term care reimbursements should be put into the hands of individuals and families to give them the choice of where to get needed services and supports. The importance of having the choice to be able to receive home and community-based services, to be included in the community has been highlighted by the dangerousness of living in crowded institutions during a contagious pandemic.
