In-home care agency's services provide the means for those aging in place, the homebound, and the infirm to get back on track with plans for a vaccination at home or a site outside
New York, NY (PRUnderground) May 3rd, 2021
Homebound seniors in New York’s Westchester County who are finding it harder than they expected to get a COVID-19 vaccination can get a helping hand from Westchester home care agency Touching Hearts at Home NYC.
Vaccinations at home for seniors aging in place have hit speed bumps across New York State, including in Westchester, and were slowed again when the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was put on hold temporarily while some concerns about the product were investigated. But now those concerns are allayed, and the J&J vaccine again has a green light for shots at home and at vaccination sites, The Wall Street Journal reported on April 24, 2021.
To get back on track with your vaccination, get with Touching Hearts at Home NYC, a senior care agency whose services are crafted to provide so much more than just in-home care.
If you or a loved one truly cannot venture outside, a home caregiver will be invaluable in helping to organize, facilitate, and prepare for a vaccination at home in Westchester or anywhere in the New York City area and surrounds where Touching Hearts NYC provides in-home care. Or if a solo trip outside to a no-appointment vaccination site seems daunting, get there with a little help from a Touching Hearts friend. Yes, the Westchester home care agency provides accompaniment for appointments and events outside the home too.
Touching Hearts NYC’s well-trained home health aides can also play an assigned role in reassuring elderly or infirm folks in their care who are reluctant to get their COVID shot for various reasons. If someone has been deterred by rumors or fake news, the agency’s competent staffers can help families ensure their loved ones get only facts on which to base decisions.
In a recent report, The Hudson Independent referred to “a large cohort” of people in New York who still don’t want a COVID shot or don’t know how to get one. Touching Hearts NYC provides the kind of affordable home care that can make it part of the solution for state officials who, according to the report, are counting on public persuasion to convert vaccine-wary residents.
As an increasing number of older adults and seniors in Westchester and across New York State choose to age in place, The New York Times also recently reported that most homes across the country are lacking in simple and inexpensive equipment to help that go smoothly and without incident. Touching Hearts NYC can be your ally in ensuring almost any aspect of aging in place goes to plan.

From full-time 24-hour home care to just a few hours a week, all services can be tailored to a client’s needs and means through discussion via an obligation-free consultation.
