About this listen
This week's episode of HealthCap Weekly Wrap takes a deeper look at one of the most pressing challenges facing senior living communities this season — the flu. With widespread activity, rising hospitalizations, and a particularly aggressive strain impacting older adults, hosts break down why this year is different and what care teams need to know now. From early symptom recognition to timely antiviral use, the conversation covers actionable steps teams can take to reduce the impact of flu within their communities.
The episode also highlights the importance of respiratory protection programs, using the CDC's Respiratory Protection Program Toolkit as a foundation for keeping staff safe and operations compliant. Additional discussion includes enhanced barrier precautions, communication strategies with families, and staff morale during a high-pressure season. Whether your community has already seen cases or is bracing for what's ahead, this episode offers practical insights, reminders, and tools to strengthen your flu response and protect your residents and care teams.
