Our COVID-19 Safety Promise
COVID-19 caused us to completely revamp the way we interact with our clients and improve the safety precautions we take. We went above and beyond British Columbia’s safety recommendations by:
- Expanding our errand services.
- Providing a video chat service to keep families connected.
- Reorganizing our shifts to eliminate cross-over between facilities.
- Arranging alternative outings to help seniors enjoy being outside, including scenic drives and picnics in the park.
- Providing ongoing communications and updates to families.
- Increasing disinfecting of high touch areas in our office, with sanitizer stations and masks available.
In addition, we’ve taken every precaution to help protect our caregivers and prepare them to continue working with elderly clients, including use of PPE, increased sanitation, flexible scheduling. We provide up-to-date training to ensure that our caregivers are in compliance with BC safety regulations.
