The number one health crisis in America is Covid-19. According to the CDC, eight out of ten Covid-19 deaths have been adults sixty-five years or older. The elderly have more comorbid conditions, which increases their risk of having a bad outcome from Covid. The most dangerous risk factors are hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. The people who are long-haulers will suffer symptoms long-term. Over half of the patients with Covid will have fatigue, shortness of breath, coughing, and joint pains. Close to forty percent of those patients will return to baseline three weeks later. A long-hauler will have brain fog, and the symptoms will drag on. Tune in as Dr. John Cascone reveals why so many people in nursing homes are coming down with Covid.  

In This Episode

• [06:20] Meet Dr. John Cascone. Dr. John speaks about the unique circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic. 
• [11:25] Factors that make Covid especially risky.  
• [14:00] What seniors can expect to experience as a long-hauler.   
• [16:20] What happens when a patient gets intubated for Covid-19. 
• [17:45] Why so many people in nursing homes are coming down with Covid. 
• [22:50] About the treatments that people are receiving for Covid and how close we are to a vaccine. 

Key Takeaways

• If you are 80+ years of age, your risk of dying of Covid is 15%. If you compare that to a 20-year-old, their risk of dying is 0.2%. 
• Hypertension, obesity, and cardiovascular disease are the most prominent risk factors that will give someone a bad outcome from Covid. 
• Once a patient gets intubated for Covid-19, the mortality starts to go up astronomically. 
• Suppose you’re within six feet of someone for longer than fifteen minutes without a mask. In that case, your risk of acquiring the virus from another person is pretty significant.
• We can expect the vaccine data to come out in early December. We can expect distribution after the first of the year.

Rosalind Jones joins the Injured Senior Podcast to educate us on caregiving and how it is replacing long term care facilities. Rosalind is a seasoned health care provider who built upon her strong medical foundation by opening Jacksonville’s Best Caregivers, an organization that provides short and long-term health care.

Rosalind confirms that caregivers can provide more than a facility can. There is more one on one human connection, and that person’s quality of life can extend 3-5 years. Being at home gives people an extended period of life; they are more comfortable, can get their hair done, go to the movies, and get the human interaction they need. 

Long-term care facilities are necessary later on in a person’s illness or age, as opposed to early on. This is because technology and medicine allow people to live in the comfort of their home. 

In This Episode:

• [05:00] Meet Rosalind Jones. 
• [6:22] Rosalind shares how she started in caregiving. She began as a sitter in the hospital with on the job training 
• [12:15] Sometimes people are afraid to ask for help. They are afraid their car, house, or identity will be taken away from them. This can cause isolation. 
• [12:40] Now that caregiving is an industry, is it replacing the nursing home 
• [16:50] What caregivers can give, that facilities cannot 

Key Takeaways:

• We have all been caregivers
• The role of the caregiver is to come in and monitor the health of your loved ones, monitor that they are taking medication. Care can range from just checking in, to full time
• You can be a caregiver on a long term or short term basis, depending on if it’s a slip or a disease. 
• Technology and medicine are keeping people healthy longer. Facilities are now needed later, as opposed to early on.
