The COVID-19 pandemic has created unexpected situations and stress for people worldwide. Individuals with cognitive impairment, such as dementia, may encounter even more significant challenges due to their diagnosis. Dementia caregivers need to address this new normal with their clients and loved ones carefully.
To all our True Caregivers:
We want to continue to thank you for being on the front line everyday when you show up to care for your clients. It is important that we care for everyone in this time of need. We want to remind you of what you should look for when caring for your clients during this time.
What to look for or ask your clients:
We hope you and your families are doing well in this time of uncertainty. True Care is here to help and support you during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are working around the clock to provide for the health and safety of our clients and our staff. Among the worldwide shortage of personal protective equipment, True Care continues to ensure that each staff member and the client has the personal protective equipment that is required by the New York Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused all of us to fear for our health and the health of our loved ones. It is important to stay informed and make smart choices during these challenging times, so we don’t create unnecessary risk. If you or a loved one become sick and experience mild symptoms due to coronavirus, you need not panic. Mild cases usually recover in two weeks, and most people will recover safely at home. If you have mild symptoms -including fever, body ache, or cough- there are steps you can take to care for yourself.
We are facing an unprecedented situation. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is affecting all of us. During this difficult time, True Care continues to be committed to delivering high-level care for our clients, and offer support and guidance for our staff members.
True Care’s mission is to provide quality home health care services by upholding the highest care standards and empowering innovation to make a positive impact. We stand by this mission every day, and even more so, during this challenging time.
True Care is fully committed to the safety of its clients and staff. As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak continues True Care has been examining the protocols and precautions that are necessary to protect our clients and staff. Our Emergency Preparedness Team (EMT) is closely monitoring information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and other experts.
