Staying Safe Before Your Visit

Are you planning to visit your loved one?

Not sure how to stay safe even after getting the COVID-19 vaccine? 

At Plymouth Terrace, we want to keep your loved ones safe, happy, and healthy. We want you to see your loved one. Here’s how you can stay safe before your next visit: 

Self Evaluation: Check your symptoms daily. If you're feeling under the weather, consider staying home. Regularly testing yourself for COVID keeps those around you safe and allows you to make the best decisions when it comes to travel.

Face Coverings - If you’re feeling unsure about your surroundings, consider wearing a face mask! Wearing a face mask helps reduce your chance of potential exposure to COVID. When you wear a face mask, also reduce the risk of unknowingly spreading the virus. 

Wash Your Hands - Keeping your hands clean is a simple way to reduce your risk of infection. We don’t realize how often we’re touching shared surfaces! Whenever you can, you should wash your hands. Carrying hand sanitizer is another easy way to keep your hands clean while you’re out.

Staying in Touch with Your Loved Ones After Vaccination

Is COVID-19 keeping you from seeing your loved ones?

Are you concerned about risking your health by going out?

At Hillside Terrace, the health and safety of your loved ones are our top priority! 

Ways to Stay in Touch 

Virtual meetups: If face-to-face is what you’re missing, try a virtual meetup with your loved one! Facetime, zoom, and Google Duo allow you to see and talk to your loved one, without the risk!

Visit outdoors- Sometimes there’s no replacement for meeting face-to-face. If you’d rather meet in person than over Zoom, try to meet outdoors! Meeting outdoors decreases the risk of exposure and allows you to spend quality time outside.

Planned events - Before visiting your family member, schedule the visit ahead of time! Planning ahead gives people the time to take necessary safety precautions to be safe before getting together.

Ask Yourself These Questions When Your Parents Refuse Help

 Are you frustrated that your parent refuses your help?

A Place for Mom suggests that you “ask yourself some of these questions when it comes to your parents’ behavior: 

• Are they acting this way out of habit?

• Are they worried about losing their independence?

• Are they suffering from depression or anxiety?

• Are they confused or do they have dementia?

• What are some things they may be fearing?”

Identifying the root causes of your parents’ behavior can help you identify the best way to make positive changes.
