All Seniors are Safe during COVID-19

Madhur Bhav senior living home and care center is an example of keeping all the seniors safe during Pandemic. When we saw the news about the pandemic reaching Pune with one couple visited Dubai and spread to nearby society. When Our Prime minister declares Janta Curphew and also followed 21 days lockdown. Our system started proactively taking care of seniors. First and foremost things which we followed by stopping visitors from 10th March 2020.  I did not panic about the situation and followed the time to time guidelines issued by the Ministry of health and welfare for taking care. Our staff was instructed to be residential and cut down of the staff which was not directly working with seniors. so the level of infection curtail during the lockdown, we send the circulars to relatives about not visiting Madhur bhav to meet with them and also arrange for video conference for the timing was specified. Our nursing staff checked all the

patients every day. With caution for cough, fever, sneeze, and those we suspected did the x-ray testing for them. As preventive care we started with the administration of vit C tablets, milk was served earlier in the night but now added curcumin. We gave bronchodilators to all the residents.  

Maintained social distancing for all seniors, we discontinued newspapers and TV to reduce the panic against the virus. Media has created panic against the virus so much as the last three months there is no news other than Corona. 

To maintain healthy and fearless the atmosphere we maintained their routine of exercise and social activities (in the house), My inspiration and dedication by the team also supported well and gave incentives to manage the staff during COVID-19.

Pandemic. We had a few falls and surgery during COVID-19 and did manage very well. Our efforts were to provide the utmost care and follow the rules. We had

“लक्ष्मण रेषा ” no senior was allowed to go out. And had a saloon at home only. Our

cooking is an Nere facility for both locations and we managed the residents with traditional therapies like steam, saltwater gargling, vit C, cough syrup, Arsenic Album.etc 

Washing of vegetables, grocery, cleaning, hosukeppeing was so perfect. There was very little chance of getting infected. We isolated our senior whom we found coughing and fever. Overall extra efforts are taken to keep all the seniors safe and had a meeting with all the residents and staff every week to see the situation and act accordingly. Now with more testing available, we are taking urgently R T PCR done. In fact, during COVID-19 Pandemic we gave few admission on Sumatran ground since they had nobody to take care of them. We had two deaths and that’s was not because of the corona. It was heart attaché and renal failure. Ultimately its GOD’s Grace and my father’s blessing. We had kept all seniors safe,  

MadhurBhav is named after my parents “Shri Madhukar Bhave and Mrs. Madhuri Bhave. As the name suggests sweet felling for compassion care.
