4 COVID-19 Safety Measures for Seniors Old age and frail health put seniors at higher risk of contracting COVID-19. Because of their susceptibility, families nationwide are encouraged to work together in keeping elders safe from the virus.

Among the steps you can take to keep your home COVID-free are the following:

⭐ Assist seniors with hygiene practices in case they forget about it.

⭐ Limit people from going in and out of the house. Assign only one person to run the errands and don’t allow them anywhere near the senior until they have disinfected their hands and belongings.

⭐ Avoid coming in close contact with each other, regardless of whether you were exposed to an infected person or not.

⭐ Unless your loved one is experiencing breathing difficulties or other serious symptoms, avoid bringing them to the hospital. Best if you wait for your doctor’s orders.

Above everything else, provide emotional support for your senior relatives. Talk to them regularly and check how well they’re holding up during these trying times. You can also help them manage stress through arts and crafts, exercise, and baking. Got a Question? Call today (850) 471-8301 or fill up the online form.
