It is True Care’s mission to protect our clients, home health aides and our nurses. COVID-19 is a new virus that has required the world to quickly adapt and find ways to stay safe; as a trusted Home Care Agency, we immediately put protocols in place to ensure safety and continued quality of care for our clients. We are following city, state and federal guidelines and have implemented many initiatives and programs to address the concerns of infection from COVID-19.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is reserved, for the most part, for health care workers and other individuals working in a healthcare environment. During this unprecedented time, everyone is using PPE to protect themselves from COVID-19. Everyday use of PPE for non-health care workers usually includes a face covering and gloves. PPE use for healthcare workers can include a face covering, eye protection, a gown or protective “suit” and gloves.
To our valued front line workers,
We want to thank you for your courage and perseverance as you journey into work in the face of the current pandemic. We are proud to have you as a part of our team and want to thank you for sticking by us at this very challenging time.
For this purpose, we have put together this tribute to YOU — the home health aides and nurses of New York City — who go out in the field, day after day.
Thank you for your tireless efforts and bravery. You are the Heroes In Our Homes!
Sitting at home day after day can not only become monotonous; it can take a toll on us emotionally and physically. The stress of hearing the news from outside, combined with the stress of home confinement, can weigh on us, and you may start feeling run down.
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.
The COVID-19 pandemic is bringing many issues to light, particularly around healthcare and hospitalization. Many people don’t think about preparing for admission to the hospital until it’s too late. It’s imperative to do this ahead of time. Now is the perfect time to gather your medical records, health care proxy, power of attorney, and plan for pet care if needed.
