As the deadly COVID-19 outbreak is continuously unleashing havoc in different countries of the world, the aged adults must remain safe and protected. Although the elder care retirement villages in Burwood and various parts of Australia have made specific arrangements to tackle the situation, the outlined practices must be religiously followed. The slightest slack can lead to a considerable number of the aged persons getting affected, which cannot be afforded at all.
Social distancing is a big challenge
In the retirement villages and the aged
care homes, the older seniors are already trying to cope up with several
illnesses and impairments. In such situations, a lively chat with fellow
residents or an evening spent over a cup of tea amidst a group of such people
together has a tremendous therapeutic as well as psychological value in healing
them.
Adopting visitor restrictions
While it is needless to say that adopting
visitor restrictions and sanitisation drives are mandatory, it is equally
important to inform the residents about the new practices that are put in
place. It is essential to understand that creating residential care facilities
not only mean facilitating them but also providing them shelter and the comfort
of being at ‘home’. Therefore, elder care retirement villages in
Burwood must implement strategies to inform the aged adults in a very
constructive manner about the new changes and practices.
They must be made aware of the use of face
masks, hand sanitisation, use of disinfectants, PPE kits and how important it
is to keep themselves safe. The second review of the ‘Industry Code on Visiting
Residential Aged Care’ has also emphasised more on practising these standard
health and hygiene practices.
