Hello.Im from Macedonia, im a Social worker and i have a question about those who work in nursing homes. Of course until now the weather conditions allowed us to visit outdoors and through the balcony, but as time goes by it would be more difficult. Do you have any idea what the protocols for visiting the elderly indoors.

Thank you

Hi Milena

I would ask the facility you are going to watch their procedure is

Perhaps you can go in their room and open the window

Most residents have a coat for the cold weather

If you have a time constraint perhaps the staff can get the resident ready for you

However, I think in a pandemic it is best for the family visit to be in the salon at a distance and with a screen between the user and the family, of course wearing a protective mask and using a disinfectant.

Sounds like a good idea Milena

“ I cannot believe it has been a full year since I started using Golden Carers. I remember going back and forth mentally if I wanted to try something new or keep on paying for an older resource that we didn't use often and was much more expensive for the entire year. I'm so glad I chose to make the switch and now here I am renewing my membership for the 2nd year. This site is great! Keep up the good work. “
