How to Help at Risk Elderly During a Pandemic

What can family members and close friends do to help at risk elderly loved ones during the Covid-19 pandemic? They can: 

1) Research early signs of dementia/Alzheimer’s disease.   

2) Stay in touch virtually and engage as much as possible with your elderly loved ones to keep their minds actively stimulated.  

3) Keep a log of moments of forgetfulness. 

4)  Know when a loved one may venture out on a seemingly routine trip to the grocery store and connect with them when they return.  

5) Talk to older loved ones about Powers of Attorney for financial decision making and a Patient Advocate Designation for medical decision making.  

6) Speak with an attorney about the standards required for executing Powers of Attorney.  

7) Seek professional advice about Guardianships and Conservatorships.
