As the battle against the dreaded coronavirus rages on, our seniors are facing possibly the most serious crisis of their lives. With the double mutation setting in , the virus has taken on an even more infectious form with a high rate of transmission. This strain spreads faster and attacks anyone and everyone across all age groups -children and adults. Though recovery rates have remained stable, the seniors are always at a high risk of mortality with this infection.
According to the World Health Organization, elders are most at risk of catching infections. With age, the body’s defense mechanism becomes weak and vulnerable. Keeping them isolated and taking all possible precautions to keep their environment clean and sterilized is definitely a start. Making sure they are getting a high-quality diet to stay in optimum physical shape and taking the necessary supplements and medicines for strong immunity are just some of the things you are a child or caregiver can ensure. The mental and emotional toll has been way worse. The mandatory social distancing coupled with an environment of fear and panic, has lead to increased incidences of cases of sleeplessness, nightmares, panic attacks, irritability, feelings of emptiness, and depression amongst the elderly. Due to lack of exercise, there has also been a decrease in the physical strength affecting the elderly in every aspect.
Given the risk of COVID-19 coupled with the risks brought on by keeping our elders safe has convinced a lot of families to consider specialized senior living facilities for their parents and grandparents for extended periods. The facilities offered by Aurum Senior and Assisted Living are especially geared towards providing a safe , clean, healthy, holistic and compassionate environment that takes into account the unique needs of elders. The facility is managed by a highly qualified team of expert medical professionals including doctors, nurses geriatric nutritionists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and support staff to provide 24/7 monitoring, daily check-ups, special immunity boosting meals, yoga, and exercise facilities within a safe, green, and luxurious cocoon.
