We all thought (and hoped!) that the COVID-19 pandemic was going away. But no! it is a renewed concern for everyone, especially those looking for quality senior care. Thousand Oaks, CA families have to worry about the Delta Variant now and through the winter.

Those families looking for caregivers for seniors near Thousand Oaks CA have to check out the degree to which caregivers will make sure their loved ones stay safe from all COVID-19 strains, whether the original virus, the Delta Variant, or, frankly, any other strains that arise over the next few months.

Fortunately, winters here in southern California do not generally mean spending a lot of time indoors, which frequently is the case in most of the country where winters are harsh. The air indoors can be more stagnant, and that can encourage the spread of viruses like COVID-19. Getting outdoors, or just leaving the windows open, can be good for everyone’s health since COVID-19 doesn’t spread outdoors as readily as it does in indoor settings. So this question is something that those looking for conscientious and quality elderly home care. Thousand Oaks, CA families, fortunately, have the quality CAREGivers of Home Instead available. They always take precautions to make sure they are not spreading the virus to patients when they visit.

The CAREGivers of Home Instead are licensed, trained, and bonded. They take extensive precautions to make sure they respect their own health and that of their patients: vaccination, testing, masking, hand washing, and maintaining a safe distance as much as possible, but not letting these measures negatively affect the residential assisted living assistance for everyone, those with simple needs, as well as those who require greater assistance due to chronic health conditions.

In addition to the steps, our CAREGivers take to make sure they do not spread COVID-19, the elderly care services in Thousand Oaks, CA which they provide include simple things like running errands — to the grocery store, the department store, or to the pharmacy. But Home Instead‘s CAREGivers for elderly can give their patients a ride, whether to the doctor or other appointment, so rather than risking public transportation or an app-based ride service like Lyft — these can be less clean and safe than a CAREGiver’s car — seniors can rest assured that their ride with their CAREGiver will be clean and safe.
