4. How and why is Assisted living becoming the best and a safe place for seniors to choose in the current pandemic situation ? These are the questions that lead you to check for a Senior Living facility. What if it is an assisted living? Yes, things become much easier. Even clinical care can be adhered to in such a place. That's where assisted living facilities go multiple steps ahead of the old age homes. Even when our own homes had become a place of uncertainties where safety from Covid-19 was a question, Assisted living homes have ensured safety and wellness of the elders with utmost care. They have also ensured access to proper nutritious food, medicine and medical equipment if needed for seniors at proper times. Never did we know that a pandemic of such nature would hit us making us sit in our homes. We all knew how it was difficult for all of us in this situation, but let us spare a minute to think of our seniors. Yes, they are the ones who get hit the highest when such a thing happens and more serious is the case when they live alone. All of their day-to-day activities from food to medical care - everything would have been stuck at some point. What if there was someone who could take care of your senior's day-to-day activities even though you are not with them and staying abroad for your job? Give them the proper clinical care they need with a home-like feel eradicating the common loneliness that haunts in old age ? 02

5. It's not just the physical health they take care of but also the mental health of the residents at their facilities. In an Assisted living, people live an independent life but as a community which helps them in gelling with other seniors who stay there, eradicating the loneliness and rejuvenating the senior hood with positivity and happiness. More than assistance in regular day-to-day living activities for seniors, assisted living facilities are completely equipped to provide different types of care based on the need of the elders. It also applies to the support the senior needs in managing their medical/clinical condition and overall health. Covering each and every aspect of an elder's life with care and compassion, the assisted living facilities offer a holistic living experience which helps the seniors live a comfortable, happy and dignified life by experiencing each moment of their life better. FACTS There are currently over 5 million senior citizens who are active in the workforce. That means that 5 million older people are still sharing their skills and expertise to help make the world and their industry a better place. 03

6. How is home health care, the need of the day after the Pandemic ? Home health care provides people with the means to stay healthy in their own homes, clearing up space in hospitals which is an implication to fight against Covid-19. Due to the social distancing measures, important challenges to the health and well being of the very old, frail or who have multiple chronic conditions were at high risk of morbidity and mortality and this led to the significant need for home healthcare which has resulted in rise of patients who are being treated in the home after the Covid-19 pandemic. The important aspect of it is the provision of comfort and companionship which the patients enjoy, that has made it a need of the day. At times even when at a hospital for regular checkup we tend to feel uncomfortable and sometimes it becomes a himalayan task to go out of our house to a hospital or clinic due to various reasons. So there are a variety of reasons why home healthcare is chosen over the conventional way of clinic or hospital setup. It is, on a large scale, advantageous for the older people as they are the ones who have mobility issues on a large scale. Home health care is becoming important, as hospitals are managing tightly with many issues like bed capacity, staff management and the health issues they are treating. 04

7. Some of the advantages of choosing home healthcare over the conventional method are With more personalized care and trust Enabling faster and quick recovery Sense of companionship for elders Healing at your own home Also, compared to a hospital stay, transportation, and other miscellaneous expenses, Home healthcare is a more relaxed, refined, and pocket-friendly option for your loved ones providing complete medical support with individual attention round-the-clock eliminating long waiting times at hospitals and clinics. Thus the evolution of the world and the need of situations has made home healthcare not only a necessity but also a comfortable choice to make for seniors after this Covid-19 pandemic.
