How to Take Care of Minneapolis Elders During the Pandemic

The Minneapolis COVID-19 pandemic has been a ruthless period. Among those affected the elderly seemingly are the worst impacted.

Being at a much higher risk against COVID-19, the senior citizens near Minneapolis are facing much more than just the fear of the spread of the virus. Hence, it’s high time to extend our hands towards the ones who’ve always been the backbone of our society.

Here’s how you can do your bit in taking care of the elders in or around your home.

Practice Social Distancing, Not Social Isolation

The older ones in your family must be missing out on so many things which they loved to do as a part of their daily routine. This includes going for the evening walks, chit-chats at their favorite tea stall, or simply stepping out for grocery shopping.

Introduce them to the latest trends of technology. This will help them to socialize with their close ones while practicing social distancing. You can arrange for online group chat sessions or live exercise classes.

Engage Them in Some Activities

Aged people might often find it challenging to catch up with the fast pacing world. And this often finds them alone, struggling to cope with the adversities. This affects both their mental and physical well being.

Therefore, make sure to timely checks upon them, asking their whereabouts. Help them to cook their favorite food or strike up a conversation discussing their interests. Let them know they’re not alone, even amidst the crisis.

Help Them With the Daily Chores

With the coronavirus rapidly taking over the nation, it is no longer safe to step out of the house—especially for the ones more prone to the deadly disease. Thus, ensure keeping a check on the essentials of old members in your family or the neighborhood.

Offer help to get the groceries and any other necessary items. Pick-up and deliver their monthly dose of medicines and care items.

Acquaint them with the features of online shopping and payments. This might add on to their interests while allowing them to get business and errands done safely from home without much hassle.

Secure the Safety Notch

No matter how you intend to help the elderly, it is essential to keep all the safety measures mind. This includes washing/sanitizing your hands and wearing a face mask while approaching any aged person.

Besides this, try to deliver to them the right pieces of information about the COVID-19 virus, including the correct facts and figures. Discuss the new norms that must be followed so all can keep themselves safe from getting infected.

Stay Connected

While juggling between events in your fast-paced life, make an effort to stay in touch with them. Make regular phone calls for timely updates or talk about how they’re holding on during the quarantine period.

It all lies in staying connected and sharing a portion of your time and care for the elderly. And for any further assistance, Sholom assisted living is here with all manner of senior care services.
