This study examined how well AAA managed this service. We used the random effect model on panel data of California 33 Planning and Service Area's (PSA) calls across 49 weeks. We examined the association between calls (either inbound or outbound calls as the dependent variable) with COVID-19 cases, deaths, and PSA characteristics (independent variables). We observed a positive relationship between the number of calls (either inbound or outbound) with COVID-19 deaths and older adults living alone, i.e. the number of calls and the number of COVID-19 deaths and older adults living alone are positively correlated. We also observed a negative relationship between the number of calls and COVID-19 cases, i.e. the number of calls and COVID-19 cases are negatively correlated. These findings might result from volunteer and social worker shortages, encouraging AAA to provide more preventative and beneficial services to older people.

Participants were aged 65 or older, engaged in at least 150 minutes of self-identified moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) per week, and did not report any significant chronic conditions or cognitive impairment that would limit a participant's engagement in PA. Data were collected from January to March 2020 using in-person, one-on-one interviews (N = 19). The follow-up data were collected by e-mail in January 2021. Participants were asked via e-mail questions regarding changes in PA since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Individual traits are the primary motivational factors for PA. Highly physically active older adults had access to and utilized resources for PA and had social circles with other physically active older adults. While the COVID-19 pandemic had affected PA, overall participants tried to maintain their PA.

The findings encapsulate the factors that contribute to aging well and improving the quality of life for older adults, including active leisure participation, adopting leisure activities, animal interactions, community center involvement, individualized information, mental and physical well-being strategies, social resources and support, and volunteering. These factors not only inform practitioners working with older adults but also provide insights for individuals seeking to age well. The resilience of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic is also discussed, emphasizing the importance of speaking positively about aging.","PeriodicalId":45731,"journal":{"name":"Activities Adaptation & Aging","volume":"47 1","pages":"107 - 112"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47156344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
