Over the last few years, seniors in Great Falls, VA and the surrounding areas have faced increasing challenges due to the COVID pandemic. Not only are seniors still encouraged to limit social interactions in large groups, continue to wear masks, and practice social distancing, but they are also more likely to have long-term complications during and after recovery if they become infected with the virus.

At Capital City Nurses, we offer a range of services for post-COVID care for seniors. Our in-home care is designed to meet the needs of seniors and their families, ranging from companion care services to transferring and ambulation. We even offer rehab and post-op care for seniors at home or in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living communities. This provides peace of mind for adult children that their parents are well-cared for by experienced, professional, home care and elderly care nurses and caregivers.

What are the Difficulties Faced by Seniors Post-COVID?

There are several issues that seniors and loved ones may notice during coronavirus recovery. For seniors, the onset of sudden cognitive dysfunction is not uncommon, which leaves them with challenges planning their activities, organizing meals, and even caring for themselves in the same way they did before COVID.

At Capital City Nurses, our flexible senior care services adjust as the needs of your loved one change. For most of our seniors in COVID recovery, medication management and support for daily activities helps them recover more effectively by maintaining hygiene and ensuring all medications are taken on the recommended schedule and dosage.

Many seniors often feel physically weak during COVID recovery and beyond. This can put some seniors at a greater risk for falls, which is always a safety factor to consider. Our home care services are ideal for seniors living independently or those who need support while family members are out of the home.

Memory loss is not uncommon for seniors during coronavirus recovery.Elderly care assistance helps seniors stay safe in their own homes and not become overwhelmed if they cannot remember things throughout the day. This is also important for family members, as they have confidence that their loved one is well-cared for even if they cannot be present.
