Feelings of Isolation and COVID-19

If you are feeling isolated or lonely because of the pandemic, you are not alone. You likely haven’t been able to see your family or friends in a very long time. When you join PlatinumU, our team makes sure that you are staying engaged and active during this difficult time.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions some classes and events may not be available until further notice.

We have made several modifications to our PlatinumU program to accommodate you. We may:

  • Send monthly mailouts with a calendar of events, fun activities to do at home, art sheets and information sheets
  • Call you on the phone at least once a month to chat and see how we can help you
  • Host online classes to teach you about your health and how to enroll in Medicare
  • Host fun online activities you can join from home, like bingo and loteria
