Participants who are using the provided telehealth stations in senior centers.

Other: Telecare

Interventions

Telecare OTHER

The University of Kentucky (UK) will embed telehealth stations at community-based senior centers. Individuals who utilize these telehealth stations will be invited to complete a demographic survey prior to their telehealth appointment. Following their appointment, they will be invited to complete a semi-structured interview with the research team. Participants who elect to use telehealth station will be doing so as telehealth visits already scheduled with patients as Standard of Care (SOC). The telehealth station in the senior center will be used to increase ease and access to telehealth should the patient/provider choose to use such an approach (for example, in instances when the patient does not have sufficient technology, internet access, or capability to operate telehealth at home).
