Staying Healthy with In Home Care in Greater Auburn, NH

With the recent spread of COVID-19, keeping a healthy immune system is more important than ever, especially in people over the age of 65. Seniors and people who have autoimmune disorders, as well as other preexisting medical conditions, may have a higher risk of contracting the pathogen. Visiting Angels of Auburn is dedicated to providing in home care services to seniors with the goal of keeping your loved one safe at all times.

How Visiting Angels of Auburn’s In Home Care Can Help Boost Immune

Staying healthy involves practicing healthy habits. A healthy routine is critical to maintaining or improving the immune system. Our in home care professionals can help your loved one stay healthy in many ways.

In Home Care Aides Can Assist with Steps for Improving the Immune System:

  • Regular exercise – For seniors, staying active can be difficult. But even mild activity can be helpful. Taking walks, stretching, and floor exercises are all good options.
  • Healthy diet – A healthy diet provides a base for the immune system and certain foods can enhance it
  • Keeping hydrated – By the age of 80, the amount of water in the body has decreased by a fifth. It is more important for seniors to be hydrating regularly.
  • Taking medication on time – Making sure medication is taken at the proper time is important for maintaining the immune system and general health
  • Washing hands – It is important to be washing hands after any outing for at least 20 seconds, as recommended by the CDC. It is especially significant after blowing your nose, sneezing, coughing, or coming into contact with other people.
  • Getting enough sleep – Maintaining a regular sleeping schedule is essential for anyone – try to get seven to nine hours per night for seniors.

Our experienced team members at Visiting Angels of Auburn can assist with all of these and more. Our in home care aides help with meal preparation, exercise assistance, medication reminders, personal care such as bathing, grooming, and dressing, as well as helping your loved one stick to a healthy nighttime routine.

Improving the Immune System Through Stress Reduction

Being stuck in the house due to COVID-19 has been stressful in itself for many. Stress can have a negative effect on health, so it is important to find ways to relieve stress.

Tips to Reduce Stress:

  • Stay connected online – Staying connected with loved ones and friends is important, especially in this trying time. Visiting Angels of Auburn offers a program to help seniors use technology such as FaceTime, texting, and social media platforms so they can remain in contact with loved ones while practicing safe social-distancing.
  • Relax – There are so many ways to enjoy time at home. Try doing things you enjoy or things you’ve been putting off. Reading, painting, sewing, puzzles, and other crafts are great options.
  • News break – The news can be overwhelming and stressful. Instead, watch a movie or do something to relax.
  • Mental & body care – Going for walks, meditating, or taking a soothing bath can help reduce stress. Being outside in nature is a great way to get fresh air while remaining safe.
  • Reach out – If you find yourself needing help, there are options. Maintaining mental health in this time can be difficult on your own. Using a computer, a smart phone, or tablet, you can easily contact a therapist or other forms of help.
