We’ve been social distancing for so long; we know those rules. So as vaccines become more readily available throughout the country and even the world, many older adults are wondering, Now What? It leaves us with many new questions. Dr. Ronan Factora is Staff in the Center for Geriatric Medicine and Program Director for the Geriatric Medicine Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic and focuses on the challenges and choices of aging and providing care to older adults. And he joins the Aging GreatFULLy show to share with us the very same advice he gives his patients at the Cleveland Clinic, regarding what is safe—and what is not—once you receive the vaccination.
Dr. Factora answers questions listeners submitted, including a host of others. As more and more people desire to enjoy more of the social activities they once did, Dr. Factora offers advice about traveling, what guidelines to continue following, including if you’ve had Covid-19, whether or not you should still get vaccinated. He discusses the various vaccine choices available and how to best determine which one may be right for you, and what situations to continue wearing masks. Dr. Factora shares what it was like working through the pandemic as a geriatric specialist. And we talk about the concerns regarding the new strains of Covid.
It’s definitely a power-hour of enlightYOUment that delivers important educational information we all are seeking with a guest every listener will treasure and appreciate. Dr. Factora completed his Medical School at the Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health, then internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He came to the Cleveland Clinic to complete his Fellowship in Geriatric Medicine in 2003, and has been on staff since 2004. His areas of interest include Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias functional impairment, and Elder Abuse.
Beyond our Covid-19 discussion, Dr. Factora offers some special advice and important takeaways to keep in mind when it comes to your health and overall wellbeing for Aging GreatFULLy and well-celebrated living.
