Senior Health | April 7, 2020
Maintaining your loved one’s well-being during self-isolation is important. During the coronavirus pandemic, everyone was directed to stay home as much as possible. This became incredibly important for seniors who are at a higher risk of contracting the virus.
Throughout self-isolation, your loved one needs to focus on their physical and mental well-being and engage in various activities that prevent loneliness, apathy, and boredom.
Younger family members and expert care providers can help your loved one by performing outdoor activities like running errands, going to the post office, shopping for groceries, picking up medications, and more. Also, consider online shopping.
Your loved one can still talk to and see their nearest and dearest via Skype, FaceTime, and other platforms.
Some ways to stay engaged at home include solving puzzles, reading books, listening to music, watching TV shows, gardening, and much more.
Seniors need to move their bodies during self-isolation to stay in good health. Some examples of senior-friendly exercises that can be done indoors include yoga, stretching or dancing. Your loved one can also view online workout sessions for older adults.
Instead of munching on sweets and other not-so-healthy pleasures, your loved one should eat a healthy, well-balanced diet consisting primarily of fruits, veggies, protein, and grain.
Now is a great time to plan spring cleaning. Your loved one can clean their home with the help of a professional caregiver or family members and enjoy a decluttered, well-organized, and disinfected living space.
There are many upcoming holidays that your loved one can celebrate. Even if they cannot leave home, they can still dress up, make a nice meal, and schedule a video call with family and friends.
Your loved one can enjoy simple activities like a game of cards, a baking project, or a phone call with a dear friend.
