Seniors and individuals with chronic health conditions are most at risk. While getting the flu shot annually offers important protection against this rising health problem, there is more that seniors can do to protect themselves.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Healthy Living to Prevent the Flu<\/h2>\n<p>Living a healthy lifestyle offers some of the greatest protection against the flu for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-diego\/home-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Diego seniors<\/a>. This includes exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, taking prescribed medications regularly, visiting a doctor for scheduled visits and properly managing personal hygiene needs. For some seniors, completing these tasks independently is easy, but for others, assistance is needed. One way to reduce the risks of contracting the flu for these individuals is to hire a San Diego in home care professional.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/11\/senior-being-helped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8287 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/11\/senior-being-helped.jpg\" alt=\"senior being helped at home\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/11\/senior-being-helped.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/11\/senior-being-helped-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>In Home Aides \u2013 Helping San Diego Seniors to Remain Healthy<\/h2>\n<p>In home aides in San Diego have the ability to reduce the risks of seniors contracting the flu. By assisting home-bound seniors or individuals with physical limitations in performing daily tasks such as taking a shower, getting dressed in clean clothes, managing incontinence and attending to hand washing needs, in home aides provide valuable services that improve the health and well being of seniors while also supporting their stated desires to age in place.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Ways San Diego Home Care Professionals Help<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to assisting with hygiene tasks, professional San Diego care providers offer services that help seniors to receive safe and timely transportation to medical appointments including annual appointments to receive the flu vaccination. They <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-diego\/home-care\/adls\/\">prepare healthy, warm meals, assist with eating<\/a> when tremors related to Parkinson\u2019s or cognitive deficits related to Alzheimer\u2019s are present and provide seniors with valuable companionship that reduces instances of depression and increases the appetite. These efforts often help to boost the immune system and keep seniors safe from many flu related symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2>The Home Environment and The Flu<\/h2>\n<p>Home care workers provide services that help to keep a senior\u2019s home environment free from airborne viruses that cause the flu. Many housekeeping tasks help to keep the home clean and sanitized, and this can reduce a senior\u2019s chances of contracting the flu or reduce the severity and duration of symptoms if they do present.<\/p>\n<h2>After a Loved One is Diagnosed with The Flu<\/h2>\n<p>If a senior is diagnosed with the flu, hiring a San Diego in home care provider can reduce the need for hospitalization by mitigating the most severe side effects of the flu. A senior who is reminded to take prescribed medications is less likely to experience breathing problems, heart palpitations or severe dehydration. An individual who is supervised during ambulation is less likely to experience a fall after becoming dizzy from the flu, and this reduces opportunities for broken bones and other severe health consequences. Even if in home care is not needed long term, bringing someone in during this critical time can be beneficial and even life saving.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-diego\/\">Salus Homecare<\/a>, we assist seniors in living high-quality, healthy and independent lives. Whether you are seeking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-diego\/home-health\/short-term-care\/\">short term in home care in San Diego<\/a> for a loved one diagnosed with the flu or you are searching for ways to keep a home-bound senior safe from illnesses, contact our offices today.
