This Thanksgiving, I am giving thanks for health and happiness. I am thankful all our clients are as healthy as they can be and our caregivers are helping them stay happy and at home.<\/p>\n
As COVID and flu season descends, I appreciate the challenging circumstances we all are going through, no matter what kind of family we have or line of work we are in. We need to come together as a community to help each other navigate and overcome these challenges.<\/p>\n
Take the time to check on your neighbor this season, especially the vulnerable, elderly, and homebound. With social distancing, these populations are more isolated than ever and it takes is a quick phone call to remind them they aren\u2019t forgotten. If you are heading to the store, see if they need anything. I guarantee this simple act of kindness will make their whole day.<\/p>\n
Experts are calling for the suspension of holiday celebrations, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t celebrate differently. If you cook dinner for your family, consider taking a plate over to someone you know isn\u2019t having visitors\u2014you can leave it on their doorstep with a note and call them to let them know it is there or ring the bell and watch from the curb.<\/p>\n
The vulnerable, elderly and homebound are so appreciative and grateful when someone thinks of them. The gift of inclusion and thinking of others is a simple gratitude practice we can all implement.<\/p>\n
