6 ways to stay connected with seniors when visits are restricted

Establish a regular contact schedule
To reassure your older adult that you’ll always be there for them, consider setting up a schedule for when you’ll contact them and stick to it religiously.
Knowing when to expect a call from you can help them feel more secure and connected during an uncertain time. This is especially important if they aren’t able to initiate calls on their own.
If your older adult has Alzheimer’s or dementia, but is able to understand reminder notes, consider writing down a clear call schedule and getting it to them via care package or mail.
Do you have unanswered questions?
Call 211 for frequently asked questions about coronavirus, or email COVID19@co.shasta.ca.us.
