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.
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.
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!
