Dr. Jacqueline DuPont, PhD (Gerontologist and Aging Expert) explains the Best Practices for Senior Care Facilities and how to deal with the Coronavirus.
In this video:
Is it safe to visit seniors who live in Assisted Living Communities? Who should be allowed to visit the elderly?
Long term care facilities should limit visitors. The less visitors the better.
What happens if the resident is sick?
If one of the residents is sick, the facility should be able to control the infection and avoid the spread of virus/germs in the assisted living community. All the caregivers and staff members should be following proper health and safety guidelines.
If you have loved ones living in a senior living community, be sure to talk to the facility administrator or director to ensure that they are following proper health and safety guidelines. It is important that the assisted living facility is keeping up with best practices.
If you are a senior care facility owner, these reminders will help you keep your residents safe and help prevent the spread of the coronavirus in your facility.
