Flu season is upon us, and seniors account for 50-70% of flu-related hospitalizations and 70-85% of flu-related deaths (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/highrisk/65over.htm).  Those are frightening numbers!  Older people are more susceptible to the flu because the immune system weakens as we age.

Now is the time to focus on prevention.  So much of the immune system’s power comes from the foods we eat, so we put together this chart to help choose good options.

Home Care is always a great way to stay healthy.  Assisting Hands caregivers can help prepare healthy meals and snacks, encourage hydration, and remind clients to take medications and supplements on time.  Our goal is to prevent hospitalizations and promote independence, and the best way to do that is to make sure our clients stay healthy!
