Since late September 2018, True Care has held a TrueCaregiver Flu Prevention & Resource Fairs for all our HHAs in each of our main offices in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Our caregivers got a free flu shot as well as access to a number of services as part of our TrueEDU program. These resources included free ESL courses with JCC of Greater Coney Island, GED classes at Metropolitan College of NY, and banking and financial services from PNC Bank, just to name a few.

Posted by True Care Staff in Insider News, in Alzheimer's & Dementia
Last month, a few clients and aides of our Memory Care program enjoyed a delightful day at Robert Wagner Park in lower Manhattan. The program's very first meetup, Art in the Park, was a great success. The participants and caregivers supported each other and painted beautiful landscapes with facilitator, Jodie Berman, Director of Programs and Community Engagement for True Care. They learned how to "paint what you see" as they overlooked a breathtaking view of the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty. They also learned a paint technique called a "wash", where a layer of color is applied using diluted watercolor paint.
Renewing a Passion for Chess: A True Care Memorable Story

Meet Mr. Oka, an exceptional True Care client, who has been living with dementia for over 5 years. The relationship he has with his caregiver, Ansan, is truly special. She is his friend, someone he spends time with, learns with and, in this particular case, teaches chess.
Ansan has never played chess before meeting Mr. Oka. Being able to learn something new and switch roles with her client is something that she has sincerely enjoyed. "It feels [good] to learn something new," says Ansan. Watching them play chess is a remarkable experience. "Immediately Mr. Oka took on the role of being a teacher," says Director of Programs and Engagement, Jodie. "This was really a role reversal in caregiving."
