This year our memory care program, True Bridge, started participating in The Gratitude Project. The idea behind this project is for clients and caregivers to "Take 5 minutes each day and write down, record, or draw 3 things for which you are grateful."

Although there is no clear origin as to how journaling gratitude began, it is a concept that has been around for almost 20 years. "The research behind gratitude is very clear; having a simple and regular gratitude practice can have surprising, profound effects on our lives," says Dr. Lauren Tober in this video.

True Care is an essential business, and we have remained fully operational since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have worked diligently to stay up to date and compliant with all COVID-19 regulations and requirements as they become available from our governing body, the Department of Health. At this time, True Care is meeting and exceeding all State and Federal COVID-19 regulations. 

With all regions in the state now in either Phase 2, 3, or 4 of the reopening plan we are happy to return to some of the activities that we have missed over the last four months.  However, it is still important that we remain vigilant in our COVID-19 prevention practices so New York State can continue to enjoy a decrease in infections and hospitalizations.  

We are all happy to welcome the beautiful, warm weather to New York. As the weather continues to get warmer, it is important to remember that the heat can be dangerous for specific individuals. We need to make sure that we take preventative measures to avoid heat-related illnesses. With the COVID-19 pandemic and the recommendations to stay home, there is an even higher risk for individuals who do not have air conditioning in their homes. 

You can now apply to become a home health aide with True Care completely online. We recently hosted a Facebook Live Information Session Event to answer questions regarding the online application process. Our Bronx Recruitment Office Manager went over the most important questions you may have concerning the online application process.

During these unprecedented times, we have seen many come to the call of helping those in need. Our city has changed and so is who we call heroes. Heroes care for others as if they’re family. For the countless amount of people who may not have anyone else to turn to— They do grocery runs, fill prescriptions, and enter the city streets so we, the vulnerable don’t have to. They are our neighbors, our friends, our relatives.
