We describe six-month functional status, hospitalization, and mortality among 23,632 cases of Long Covid in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in the US, primarily experienced by adults over 65 years old. We describe outcomes across seven medications used to treat Covid-19 including functional status (ADLs).
