Here are some senior care basics to keep them safe from communicable diseases:

Encourage proper hand hygiene: Remind seniors to wash their hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating or touching their face.

Practice social distancing: If attending gatherings, advise them to maintain a safe distance from others and avoid crowded places to reduce the risk of exposure to illnesses.

Wear masks in public: Encourage the use of masks in public settings where social distancing may be challenging to protect themselves and others.

Ensure food safety: Remind them to follow proper food handling and cooking practices to prevent foodborne illnesses.

Stay informed: Keep them informed about the latest health guidelines and encourage them to stay updated on the COVID-19 situation in our community.
