We enrolled a diverse cohort of older adults hospitalized with COVID-19 and followed them after discharge. Functional decline was common, and there were high rates of persistent cognitive impairment and symptoms. Future analyses of these data will advance our understanding of patient-centered outcomes among older COVID-19 survivors.
