Safe, Reliable and Effective Home Care in the Aftermath of COVID-19

With the introduction of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world as we know it was forever changed, full of uncertainty, but also hope for how we can all move forward together as a community.

Amid these growing challenges, Home Care for Adults remains steadfastly committed to our mission of providing high-quality support, services and care for those most at risk: senior citizens.

There are now over 746,000 confirmed cases and 35,676 deaths here in the USA (According to the New York Times, 04/19/2020), with the death rate increasing by more than 2000 per day.

In New York we have been especially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 242,000 confirmed cases and almost 14,000 deaths, making safe home care practices an ever-increasing concern and priority.

Nursing Homes and Long-Term Care Facilities are a Death Trap

Those with loved ones in long-term care, assisted living or nursing homes are understandably concerned for the safety and well-being of their family and friends. And with good reason.

The Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) cited that nursing homes pose a serious health risk during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Further data from the CDC reveals that between 2009 and 2012 80% of norovirus outbreaks were recorded in nursing homes.

Until an effective and reliable vaccine is available to the masses, the confined spaces, inadequate ability to quarantine those with symptoms, overworked long-term care staff, and high-risk inhabitants make nursing homes a potential death trap for those who live there.

As reported by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), to date we have already seen numerous nursing homes and long-term care facilities fall victim to COVID-19 as it spreads like wildfire among their residents.

This makes the move to home care one that may save lives, and Home Care for Adults is here to help make that transition one that is efficient, affordable and reliable.
