The pandemic has brought a lot of fear and anxiety to the hearts of the people, especially seniors. People are now hesitant to even leave their own homes. While this can have little effect on a younger person’s body, being shut in can cause serious harm for seniors.
Vitamin D deficiency is already a big concern among the elderly population, and it has gone up since quarantine began. We are not telling you to take your seniors out to the mall or go to parties. We are recommending you to at least allow your elderly loved one the opportunity to step outside and breathe in the fresh air – even if it’s just going to a doctor’s appointment. If you need help with safe transportation, you can always rely on our non-emergency medical transportation in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Going outdoors even for a short while is also great for those healing from surgery and injuries. Doctors have also noticed that patients recovering from surgery have benefited not only physically but also mentally from getting direct exposure from sunlight. So if your loved one has just gotten out of the hospital, you can always tell the senior transportation driver to make the trip to the car a bit more leisurely.
The wheelchair transportation service in Massachusetts by FREDAKA SERVICES INC is here to make trips safer for those in need. But remember to always wear your masks, wash your hands, and practice social distancing!
