Senior Care Tips for COVID-19 in Greater Cleveland, GA

With the nation caught up in the grasp of a pandemic, senior care providers must focus on the health, and overall well-being of their elderly loved ones. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) is learning more every day about the Coronavirus (COVID-19). One thing they have found is that it can spread through communities rapidly, causing severe illness and death.

Among the ways COVID-19 can spread are:

• Person-to-person, especially people within six feet of one another
• COVID-19 can be spread through the air from a cough or sneeze and can linger there for three hours
• The Coronavirus lasts for multiple hours or days on surfaces like copper (up to three hours), cardboard (up to 24-hours), and plastic and stainless steel (up to three days)

• Providing our seniors the personal care services they continue to need, such as bathing, washing hands, grooming, dressing, and many others.
• Ensuring seniors can practice the recommended social distancing. We do this by letting them remain in their homes while our caregiver goes out and does the grocery shopping and picks up any prescriptions.
• Reminding seniors that if they need to cough or sneeze, they should do so by using their shoulder or tissue. Seniors should also avoid touching areas like their faces and especially their eyes.
