How You Can Help Senior Neighbors

• Donate hygiene products! We are collecting hand sanitizer, hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, disinfectant products, and tissues for distribution to seniors. If you can spare these items, please call us at (858) 792-7565 to alert us that you are coming, then drop off the items in the marked bin at the Del Mar Community Building, 225 9th St. 

• Volunteer as a friendly neighbor! Anyone can make check-in phone calls. Please fill out this form to register. 

• Make reusable cloth face masks to give to seniors! Learn more here. 

• Stay home and stay safe! Practice social distancing at any age and slow the spread of the virus.

Information

​

Older adults (65+) are asked to stay at home. 

The CDC recommends the following precautions for everyone:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing, or having been in a public place.

• If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

• To the extent possible, avoid touching high-touch surfaces in public places – elevator buttons, door handles, handrails, handshaking with people, etc. Use a tissue or your sleeve to cover your hand or finger if you must touch something.

• Wash your hands after touching surfaces in public places.

• Avoid touching your face, nose, eyes, etc.

• Clean and disinfect your home to remove germs: practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces (for example: tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks & cell phones)

• Avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated spaces. Your risk of exposure to respiratory viruses like COVID-19 may increase in crowded, closed-in settings with little air circulation if there are people in the crowd who are sick.

• Avoid all non-essential travel including plane trips, and especially avoid embarking on cruise ships.
