How to help elders manage chores amidst a pandemic

How to help elders manage chores amidst a pandemic

The elder members might find it difficult to manage chores owing to their health issues. It might not be possible for them to carry out daily activities and might need help. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is even more difficult for the elders to manage everyday chores which they could seamlessly do before. But there are still some ways through which they can be helped. This section will tell you how to help elders manage chores amidst a pandemic.

  • Online Shopping and Bill Payments

As stepping out won’t be a wise decision amidst this pandemic, getting most of the things done online is the way to go. One must teach their elders how to go about buying things online and ways to pay the bills via the internet. If they cannot understand, you can help them by paying the bills and ordering things online. If you are occupied and cannot spare some time for it, our online and bill payment services will assist the elderly senior citizens with online shopping and bill payment. Our trusted and professional associates walk the elderly through net banking and online shopping features.

  • Transportation Arrangement

If going out is inevitable and the elder person has to commute, facilitate their journey with transport assistance. Book the elder person a cab so he/she can have a smooth and crowd-free journey (as the usage of public transport will put them at the risk of catching COVID-19). We, at Samvedna Care, too offer transport assistance and elder care services in Delhi. We will be happy to help in case the elderly member requires driver services, cab bookings, and pick and drop facilities.

  • Banking Assistance

You might help your parents and elder members with online shopping and payment of bills. However, for chores like cash deposit, cash withdrawal, passbook updates, online banking setup, life certifications, renewal of fixed deposits, and other banking queries, you would need to travel with them. If you are engaged and cannot do so, you can opt for our banking assistance. Bank visit for elders in Delhi NCR will be a hassle-free experience. We also have expert professionals who will provide financial advice and guide senior citizens.

  • Consulting the doctor

Is it time for the regular check-up of the elder member? Help them by setting up an appointment via telemedicine. This will eliminate the step of he/she visiting the hospital (as it can be dangerous amidst the pandemic). Even after this if they have to visit the doctor, we will be of great help. Our care manager will assist with hospital admission, bill payments, special equipment, etc. We can also help with doctor visits at home and re-ordering and refilling the medication requirements every week.

  • Cleaning the house

This can become really challenging for the elderly and one can help them a great deal by performing some house cleaning tasks. However, if no one is available, we can offer deep cleaning housekeeping services, directed by our in-house home manager.

Samvedna Senior Care is making proper care of the elderly possible since 2013. Our team of eldercare experts, social workers, and psychologists work diligently to ensure their proper physical and mental health. To make everything hassle-free, we offer home care services for the elderly along with attendant services in Gurgaon. Our special care packages for the elderly provide person-centered care and assist in day-to-day activities.

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. Perhaps because elderly adults tend to nap in the afternoons and sleep less during the night. Perhaps because the elderly tend to wake up earlier in the morning, it appears they do not need to sleep as much. Whatever the reason, it remains a myth. From the mid-’20s onward, do...

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...

The film Sputnik Moment – 30 years and beyond was screened at our senior citizen centre in Gurgaon for our members and staff.

Post the screening Dr. Martin Gieselmann, Executive Secretary, SAI, Heidelberg University and Dr. Constanze, Coordinator DAAD Project, Heidelberg University along with our team engaged with the audience in an interesting discussion on the Indian scenario. Members shared that in India it is not easy for senior citizens to pick up jobs after retirement, however it was interesting to see that many in the audience did have jobs post retirement. They also spoke about stereotypes and social attitudes towards ageing and shared their per...
