Caring Connections
Due to the pandemic, seniors right now are scared and stuck in their homes. Our very own Activity Center and Life Enrichment activities had to be cancelled until it is safe to bring them back. Lately, our clients’ only human interactions have been doctors or Council on Aging caregivers and drivers. Even if they do have family, most have had to stay away from them out of safety. This population group is very vulnerable to C19, and the news and media keep reminding them of that and everything else negative. This should be a happy time in their lives, and we want to keep the conversations happy. Your purpose is to give them something to look forward to and to remind them that they are valued. Think of them as your own parent or grandparent. It means the world to these people who have no one else.
