In-Home Senior Care Is More Important Than Ever for Senior Wellness in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and the Surrounding Area

During the coronavirus public health crisis, seniors have been proven to be at particular risk of the disease and its transmission. More than ever, families are focused on health and wellbeing, and at Visiting Angels Los Angeles/Beverly Hills, we’re here to help you make sure your aging loved one stays safe.

While we are still learning about coronavirus, or COVID-19, this disease has been noted for its quick spread through communities around the world. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised on three ways this disease is spread: person to person, on surfaces, and in the air. Coughs, touches, and sneezes are a primary way that COVID-19 spreads between people. The virus can also live on hard surfaces, like metal or plastic, for up to three days.

Visiting Angels Los Angeles/Beverly Hills Is Helping Seniors Stay Safe and Healthy at Home Through Comprehensive Senior Care Services

Our senior care agency wants to help aging adults in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and surrounding area fight off COVID-10 by keeping their wellness high. With guidance from the CDC and our local Department of Health, we’ve developed these areas of focus for all our caregivers:

• Knowing the symptoms. Coronavirus symptoms include fever, dry cough, difficulty breathing, chest pain, and confusion. We want every client, family member, and employee to know these symptoms.
• Maintaining a safe home environment. Because COVID-19 can live on hard surfaces for up to three days, disinfecting hard surfaces regularly is a must for all seniors. Our senior care providers will help your loved one maintain a safe home and regularly disinfect surfaces including high-touch areas like doorknobs or light switches.
• Practicing mindful health habits. All of us must learn new habits like coughing into the crook of the elbow, not touching the face, and regular hand washing and hand sanitizing.
• Focusing on personal care. Maintaining good personal hygiene is vital to maintaining good health during the COVID-19 health crisis. Our home care providers can help with bathing, grooming, brushing teeth, toileting, dressing, and all other aspects of good hygiene.
