Happy New Year! 2020 is behind us and we are excited to move forward in this new year. Care Resources made many advancements last year in how we care for participants. We expanded home care; delivered thousands of meals, medications and activity bags to participants homes; and added telehealth and telemonitoring services — all per individual care plans.
Through all of this and more, our participants and staff stayed positive, adjusting to the ever changing landscape. We are so grateful for everyone’s support and will continue to keep the physical, mental and social health of participants as our top priority!
For many people COVID vaccines are top of mind right now. There are currently two vaccines approved by the FDA for emergency use and both require 2 doses. Quantities are extremely limited so we are working closely with many organizations to determine availability, timing, and best practice protocols for administration of the vaccines. We will continue to keep everyone updated as information and vaccine doses become available.
We will continue to provide the most up-to-date COVID information as it becomes available and appreciate your ongoing support. Please stay in touch and let us know how we can best support you during this time.
Care Resources continues to take referrals and is proceeding with intakes and enrollments. Local seniors need PACE services now more than ever — allowing them to safely age at home. Please contact us at 616.913.2006 for new referrals.
