MASSACHUSETTS BEGINS RE-OPENING TODAY
How Does that Impact Our Caregivers, Your Families and Our Clients
Massachusetts announced the plan for reopening today. It is a phased approach that requires everyones support. As essential healthcare workers working at ABC, we’ve had the benefit of working throughout this pandemic and have a clear understanding of infection control. We’ve followed the guidelines established and must continue to do so.
Our role in providing care to our seniors remains so very important. As Governor Baker said today, the virus remains with us throughout the opening process.
SENIORS MUST REMAIN HOME UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
The government recommends that seniors age 65 and older remain home unless absolutely necessary. We provide MANY of the key programs seniors need to remain safe in their homes. As a caregiver - YOU ARE ESSENTIAL and we have open shifts for you to help these seniors remain safe while Massachusetts re-opens. Call the office if you can pick up additional shifts to help support the seniors in the communities we serve.
We understand that some of you have childcare needs and that your traditional caregivers are not open. The government implemented key locations in every community for essential workers. These locations have openings to safely care for your children while you help our seniors. For a list care childcare providers
