Preparing for the Future: A Practical Guide

Aging is a process, not a state of being. We approach it, sometimes rapidly, often slowly. How did we get here? For sure, aging is not for the faint of heart. So many changes; so many unknowns. And as is the case for all stages in our lives, it is best to be prepared. Our Preparing for the Future workbook is designed to serve as both a practical guide and a repository of information.

NN knows how important health and wellbeing is to our members and our community. On the basis of age alone, most NN members remain in what is considered a high-risk group for respiratory infections. We still encourage avoiding exposure to respiratory viruses—such as COVID, influenza, RSV—and helping others to do the same.

To help protect the NN community, we encourage all our members, volunteers, and community partners to adopt best practices for minimizing the spread of communicable viruses. These best practices include:

    ● Being up to date with vaccines
    ● Wearing masks, especially in crowded indoor settings
    ● Maximizing ventilation
    ● Using antigen tests if you think you’ve been exposed to a respiratory
       virus or if you develop symptoms.
 
Have concerns? Let’s talk. Community health risk is fluid and ever-changing. We will continue to work with you to find safe solutions. Please send email to connect@northamptonneighbors.org or call 413-341-0160.
