ADJUSTING AND REMAINING HOPEFUL DURING THIS COVID-19 EPIDEMICPosted by MichealH Alexander on January 13th, 2021 Did your staff meetings and Emergency plans prepare you for COVID-19?

Group Home Policies and Procedures We are staying in our homes and barely coming outside for weeks. For those of us who work with individuals who are big on routines, this may trigger a lot of challenges because they can not go to places they enjoy and frequent. HCBS Final Settings I have written and prepared several emergency plans but I must admit that I wasn't ready. Staffing patterns are being changed and disinfectant supplies are out of stock for weeks. We are having to use virtual platforms to meet with coworkers and clients. People are losing their jobs at such a fast pace. We must remember to focus on self-care and keep our thoughts and spirits positive. Like it? Share it!More by this author |
