Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) November 14, 2009 - The best way to prevent your elders from contracting the H1N1 and other flu viruses is simply to avoid exposure. Family caregivers know that keeping those they care for in their homes can keep them safe.

The CDC reported November 11, 2009 that the "number of deaths reported due to pneumonia and influenza are at epidemic levels. There have been 4000 deaths in the United States attributed to the H1N1 virus alone." And those who are older are already more likely to have a severe reaction to H1N1. There are 43,771 reported and probable cases of the H1N1 virus, which means that for every 144 infections there may a link to one death.

One company in the New Jersey area offers products and services to help elders extend the number of years they can remain in their home. Products like stair lifts, chair lifts, barrier free bathrooms, wheelchair ramps and more make any home easier to live in for the mobility challenged. Living Free Home will also come out to the home to do a free home accessibility analysis.

Elders who are aging in place, (live in their own homes) or with live with family members have less exposure than those who live in care facilities and are exposed to dozens, if not hundreds of people each week - many who are likely to carry the H1N1 virus.

There's also an "emotional edge" that boosts their immune system for those who live with loved ones (spouses, family, partners) opposed to those who live alone.

Four Simple Ways to Avoid Getting the Flu:

1. Get vaccinated. Elders need this added defense. Remember that the season flu vaccine is a separate vaccination from the H1N1 vaccination.
2. Avoid large crowds where germs can spread (coughs, sneezes, touching surfaces).
3. Practice good hygiene:
a. Wash your hands often—soap and water is still best.
b. Keep your hands away from your face. The flu virus enters our bodies body through our eyes, nose, and mouth.
c. Cover your coughs with you’re the inside of your arm. This keeps the germs off your hands and avoids face and surface contact.
4. Practice healthy habits year round: Get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water. Consider taking vitamin C and Vitamin D supplements, both boost the immune system. Get fresh air and exercise. Each whole foods (not processed) including protein, fruits and veggies.
