New York City administration's moves serve to significantly enhance the disease-prevention aspect of choosing the NYC home-care agency's services for the elderly, infirm, and disabled in the Big Apple and its surrounds
New York, NY (PRUnderground) February 21st, 2021
Home care for New York City (NYC) seniors remains the best care option as the authorities continue the battle to contain the spread and effects of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
The NYC senior-home-care environment and the presence of well-trained Touching Hearts at Home NYC home-health aides provides superior protection for the elderly by comparison with care alternatives.
Touching Hearts NYC’s range of affordable in-home care for the elderly is, in itself, a boon to keeping seniors remote from the disease. The watchful presence of home caregivers well versed in disease-prevention measures further limits the exposure of the elderly to potential carriers of the infection. That protection can also extend to journeys outside the home for medical appointments and other necessary outings.
While recent news reports have continued to highlight the vulnerability of the elderly and infirm in care facilities to COVID 19, some positive developments have emerged to provide additional comfort for families who opt for Touching Hearts NYC’s senior home care in New York.
Choose in-home care for the elderly in NYC, and seniors can now look forward to receiving one-shot COVID-19 vaccinations at home, alongside their vaccinated Touching Hearts NYC home caregivers.
The New York City administration last week announced a plan that will mobilize healthcare workers to vaccinate home-bound seniors at their places of residence. That effort is due to start sometime next month and will utilize the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
“One shot only. That will be a blessing,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio was quoted as saying by the Brooklyn Paper weekly, and home-health aides who care for the elderly at home in NYC will be given priority at vaccine clinics operated by the city administration.
“To protect seniors who have to stay at home over the course of a month, we will vaccinate 25,000 home-health aides who are the lifeline for our home-bound seniors,” the mayor said. “That will protect the seniors and the aides alike.”
Touching Hearts NYC’s home-health aides who provide care for the elderly in the New York City area are stringently trained in sanitation and practices to prevent the spread of infection. The announcement by the city administration serves as yet another reassurance to provide peace of mind for those who make the wise move to select senior home care in New York.
The city administration’s decision is a welcome development in the wake of recent news reports indicating the death toll from COVID 19 in New York State’s elderly care facilities is substantially higher than originally stated.
Touching Hearts NYC offers a full range of home-care services for the elderly, infirm, and disabled throughout the New York City area. From 24-hour in-home senior 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.
