Life as we know it has changed significantly for everyone in 2020 but particularly for our elderly population living in residential care, whose connection to the community has until now been largely through visitors and excursions out into the community.
According to recent reports by the Department of Health, there have now been 41 residents and staff in 17 aged care homes across Australia who have been diagnosed with Covid-19 (Coronavirus).
It might not have been the usual celebration but there was still plenty of love for Gwen Cook on her milestone birthday. Restrictions on visits to aged care homes due to COVID-19 control measures meant Gwen’s party for her big 100th birthday today was a small affair.
In these uncertain times, the effects of social isolation can be particularly stressful for people living alone, including older members of the community. Queensland not-for-profit organisation Carinity is ensuring the continuity of care for seniors through its in-home care service.
