AARP believes that people should be able to age with dignity and independence, and with a high-quality of life. That's why AARP submitted its recommendation to state leaders for the planning and designing of the new facility that will replace Delaware’s Home for the Chronically IlI in Smyrna, Delaware, highlighting the importance for long-term care facilities to promote safety, well-being, and infection control especially with today’s challenges in dealing with COVID. AARP is talking with state leaders and Delaware’s Division of Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities to encourage moving away from the traditional facility design.
