It has become a life of anxiety, worry and bewilderment for many having to get use to how their respective care homes have had to adapt to isolating their beloved residents, resident's having to cope with not seeing anyone from the outside and staff having to cope with this and increased bereavements.
Care home managers having to juggle with keeping the home going and trying to coordinate everything else they have thrown at them ,new admissions not being Covid 19 tested or if they have been and are positive this information in some cases has not been shared and this then causes issues for the entire home.
For these reasons and many more ,I wanted to raise the profile of the front-line staff -carers, activity coordinators, cleaners and all care home staff by acknowledging them and congratulating them on their sterling work ethic in this very hard time. We may not be at war but we are at war with an unseen force the Covid19 virus and care staff are on the front-line putting their lives on the line everyday.
I wish to highlight care homes in particular and yes, I acknowledge all what NHS staff do and they have shout outs at a national level,deservedly so but lets not forget the care home staff and the carers and activity coordinators in particular.
So I have started the #DonutForgetTheCarers challenge -movement encouraging all to buy a few sweet treats and knock on the doors of local care homes around them and wishing all the care home staff well and acknowledging the amazing job they do each and everyday. Please share this far and wide and share on social media with the hastag #DonutForgetTheCarers #Lovejoycentre .
Until next time keep shining ,keep safe, keep well and remember your worth. Do you like what I have shared?
