During haze events, it’s essential to take proactive steps to ensure the safety and well-being of residents in the nursing home. To minimize exposure, outdoor activities should be limited, and residents should remain indoors. Air purifiers should be used in common areas and resident rooms to improve indoor air quality, while windows and doors should be sealed to prevent polluted air from entering. Hydration is key, and staff should closely monitor residents for signs of respiratory distress. Providing face masks for staff and residents, especially those with pre-existing conditions, can further protect against the harmful effects of haze. Regular communication with families about the measures in place and any changes in care routines is also important. By following these precautions, we can create a safer environment and reduce the risks posed by the haze.
