ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) - Senior Helpers have been providing in-home assistance to seniors across 38 states since 2002. Now they have added a new service in senior care.
They are offering free flu prevention kits, that include a tip sheet with precautions, latex gloves, multivitamins, hand sanitizer and baby wipes. Anyone may procure a kit for the senior citizen in their life.
The kits were passed out Wednesday at the Alan Baca Senior Activities Center in Round Rock, where Flora Sule was grateful.
"For somebody to give this out for people freely, is quite appreciated," said Sule.
Folks at the center are taking the flu threat seriously, wiping down every public area every day and leaving sanitizer on every countertop. For more on the kits, go to the Senior Helpers Web site.
