This guide offers advice on caring for elderly people during the COVID-19 crisis. The advice is mostly directed towards care homes but it can be helpful in a domestic care setting too.
Firstly, it lists some behaviours that should be adopted by both carers and users, such as hand washing and social distancing. Secondly, it gives advice to be followed within the home and tips on interacting with the outside. Thirdly, it explains how care homes should be managed and directed, and how they should provide information on their situation. Finally, it gives measures to follow when a person has been infected.
