Senior Advocacy
Introduction
Welcome to the dedicated page on Coronavirus and its impact on geriatric and aging care, specifically designed for the services provided by Devoted Heart Adult Family Home. At Landmark Health, we understand the seriousness of the ongoing pandemic and the potential risks it poses to seniors and elderly individuals. With that in mind, we have taken extensive measures to safeguard the well-being and safety of our residents.
The Importance of Geriatric and Aging Care during the Pandemic
As COVID-19 continues to affect communities worldwide, it is crucial to prioritize the health and special needs of older adults. Seniors are at a higher risk of severe illness and complications from the virus, making it necessary to provide them with specialized care. Devoted Heart Adult Family Home, as a trusted institution in the field of geriatric and aging care, recognizes this importance and has implemented comprehensive strategies to ensure the best possible support for our residents.
Precautionary Measures Implemented at Devoted Heart Adult Family Home
At Devoted Heart, we have implemented a range of precautionary measures to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission within our community. These measures include:
1. Stringent Hygiene Practices
Our caregivers follow strict hand hygiene protocols and maintain a clean and sanitized environment throughout the facility. Regular disinfection of surfaces, frequently touched areas, and shared spaces helps minimize the spread of the virus.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
All staff members are equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment, including masks, gloves, and gowns, to ensure the safety of our residents and themselves. Effective utilization of PPE significantly reduces the risk of contamination and helps maintain a secure environment.
3. Continuous Monitoring and Health Screening
We conduct regular health screenings for everyone entering the premises. Temperature checks, symptom monitoring, and rigorous assessments are performed to identify any potential signs of illness promptly. By closely monitoring the health of our residents and staff, we can take immediate action if necessary.
4. Limited Visitation and Controlled Access
To minimize external exposure, visits to our facility are currently limited. We have implemented a controlled access policy to ensure that only essential personnel and authorized individuals enter the premises. This restriction helps reduce the risk of introducing the virus to our residents.
Safeguarding the Well-being of our Residents
Devoted Heart Adult Family Home places paramount importance on the overall well-being of our residents, not only physically but emotionally and mentally as well. In these challenging times, we go the extra mile to create a safe and positive environment:
1. Engaging Activities and Mental Stimulation
We provide a range of engaging activities tailored to the interests and capabilities of our residents. From physical exercises to creative hobbies and social interactions, we ensure a stimulating and enjoyable environment that promotes emotional well-being and mental sharpness.
2. Virtual Connection with Loved Ones
Understanding the significance of social connections, we have facilitated virtual interactions between our residents and their loved ones. We utilize video-conferencing platforms to enable virtual visits, ensuring that our residents stay connected with their families and friends despite the physical limitations.
