As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to rampage across the world, many health and government officials are encouraging people to stay at home. In California, government officials announced the state is in lockdown, meaning residents are required to stay at home to prevent spread of disease. For many residents, this means working from home, connecting with loved ones by using platforms like Zoom, FaceTime, and Google Hangouts, and only going out for essentials like groceries and prescriptions.

During the coronavirus public health crisis, seniors have been proven to be at a particular risk of the disease and its transmission. More than ever, families are focused on health and wellbeing, and at Visiting Angels Los Angeles/Beverly Hills, we’re here to help you make sure your aging loved one stays safe. With guidance from the CDC and our local Department of Health, we’ve developed certain areas of focus for all our caregivers to comply to.

If you’re contemplating senior care options for a loved one, you’ve probably heard about “assisted living.” You may have looked for information on various assisted living facilities in your area. Did you know in-home care can also be an option — even if your loved one is living with a condition that causes health, cognitive, or mobility challenges?
