Arleta, CA seniors are no exception.
First, as painful as it can be, limiting the exposure of those in elderly care to visitors is vitally important. This coronavirus has shown to spread even among those who show no symptoms, so the fewer the outside visitors the better.
Second, getting vaccinated can make a huge difference. The vaccines against this coronavirus have been incredibly effective. While some who have been vaccinated have still contracted coronavirus and become ill, the symptoms of the infection are mild, and the chance of the disease leading to more serious problems, or even death, are significantly reduced. So caregivers for seniors should be able to assist in finding a place near Arleta, CA where the vaccine is available.
Third, while the chances of getting coronavirus are greatly reduced in general, and once one is vaccinated the chance of a serious illness is very low, the chances of either are not zero. Elderly persons in particular remain among the most vulnerable to infection and severe symptoms. So simple precautions are still a good idea in your home. Things like washing your hands according to CDC guidelines, and asking those who enter to wear a mask.
