The holiday season has arrived, bringing with it gatherings, festivities, and travel. The colder weather, on the other hand, heralds the start of flu season, colds, and a slew of viruses. As the seasons change, it’s also time to start decorating and getting into the holiday spirit, which can bring its own set of safety concerns.
Colorado Choice CARE SERVICES has compiled a list of actions you can take to prepare for the upcoming festivities as you prepare to deck the halls and spread cheer.
Though we are resuming socializing, we must not lose sight of the dangers of contracting a virus! Before you gather, make sure your vaccinations are up to date. Even if you’ve been vaccinated, getting tested is a wise precaution to take if you’re feeling a little under the weather.
The holidays are a time for many people to indulge in food however some seniors must adhere to special diets and adhering to a diet during busy, stressful times can be difficult, especially if there aren’t any healthy options available. You can enlist our professional caregivers to provide personal care, including meal preparation, to make it easier to follow dietary guidelines. If the sidewalks are dry, bundle up and invite your parents for a walk around the block to get some exercise.
Some seniors use the holidays to travel long distances to see family and friends. If you’re planning an all-day excursion, make time for a nap or a way to unwind. Seniors can stay healthy and have fun with their family members this holiday season with the help of home care in Aurora, Colorado .
