Cold and Flu Prevention Tips for Seniors and Caregivers
Cold and flu season is upon us again. In addition, Covid-19 will still be circulating. It's wise to take precautions because seniors and caregivers are two of the most likely groups of people to get sick.

In the coming days, we will share 10 tips for avoiding the flu and in case you or your older adult gets sick, we’ve got 6 tips that prevent serious flu complications and ease symptoms.
