With flu cases increasing across the nation. Bickford senior living would love to remind you about the simplest way to prevent illness and infections.
Handwashing is one of the most effective things you can do to protect yourself and others from getting sick. Our hands touch everything—phones, doorknobs, shopping carts—and germs spread fast without us even realizing it.
Soap and water don’t just rinse germs away; they break them down and wash them off completely. Washing your hands for 20 seconds can help prevent colds, flu, stomach bugs, and other infections.
