Abstract
COVID-19 has had a devastating effect on people with disabilities and older adults who need long- term services and supports. Although there has been a focus on people residing in nursing homes, only about 1.5 million of the estimated 12 million people with disabilities and older adults in the US who need long-term services and supports live in nursing homes and institutional settings. 1 Emerging research indicates that people who receive home- and community-based services (HCBS) are also at significant risk of contracting COVID-19 and becoming severely ill.
