A message from Hurley Elder Care Law regarding COVID-19

As the situation with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to develop, the health and well-being of our clients and staff is paramount at Hurley Elder Care Law.  We are committed to a safe environment and have the current measures in place to promote client and staff safety:

 

Sick employees are required to stay at home:

Employees with symptoms of acute respiratory illness may not come to work until they are free of fever (100.4° F [37.8° C] or greater using an oral thermometer), signs of a fever, and any other symptoms for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medicines.

 

Respiratory and hand washing etiquette:

As frequent visitors to senior care communities, our staff is intimately familiar with the appropriate protocol.  Hand sanitizer and tissues are available in all meeting spaces and work areas.

 

Routine Environmental Cleaning:

All meeting spaces are routinely sanitized between client visits including frequently touched surfaces, chairs, and doorknobs. All workstations are cleaned at the close of business each day.

 

Social Distancing:

The CDC defines social distancing as “remaining out of congregate settings, avoiding mass gatherings, and maintaining distance from others when possible.” At Hurley Elder Care Law our multiple conference rooms allow us to meet with our clients in a comfortable environment while maintaining the CDCs recommended distances.

 

Virtual Meetings:

Our current technology allows us to meet “virtually” with our clients who are unwell or who would prefer not to travel to our offices.

 

We are committed to serving our community and our clients as this rapidly moving situation unfolds.  Please be assured that our attorneys and staff are dedicated to working full-time through this crisis and are here to serve our clients and community partners.

Dads and Pops: Your Good Health Matters to Us 

Did you know  June is  Men’s Health Month  and Father’s Day anchors Men’s Health Week ?   Celebrate dad on Father’s Day and thank him for all he  has  done, but  also  make sure to seize an opportunity sometime this month to have a conversation with him about his health. This awareness campaign has the critical purpose of informing men   that avoiding preventive healthcare puts them at real and serious risk of  contracting a disease or  acquiring  a chronic condition.   Studies consistently  show the numbers go against men , particularly as they advance into their senior years.   Even with dramatic advances in diagnosis and treatment over the past 100 years, men’s life expectancy still lags significantly behind women. According to  Harvard Health ,  the gap is widening. In 1900, the life expectancy for women was 48.3 years vs. 46.3 for men. In 2017, it was 81.1 years for women vs. 76.1 for men. Harvard...

Sleep in the Elderly: What is Normal?

If you are a caregiver for a senior, or even just have elderly people in your life, you may wonder about their sleeping habits. It sometimes seems that the elderly don’t need as much sleep as the average person. You may feel like the elderly in your life are sleeping a lot, or sleeping too much during the day. Unfortunately when it comes to sleep in the elderly, what is normal may not necessarily be what is healthy. Excessive sleep or daytime sleeping in the elderly are all related to sleep disorders and can be helped. How Many Hours of Sleep Does an Elderly Person Need? A pervading myth related to sleep claims that elderly adults need less sleep than the average adult. It’s not quite clear how this myth began.
