The Covid-19 health crisis has unfolded new developments, many of its worrying, some of it ominous, and yet the best of humanity continues to shine through.
A release from Residentia Mooi Hawens read, “We’ve come together, not only as an elderly care facility, but as a province, a country and indeed one world bound in the pursuit of health and wellness. At Residentia, we have been working very hard to expand services and increase capacity to prepare for the potential rise in the number of seniors with a need for elderly care. Protecting our most vulnerable now more than ever, we must especially stay connected to our seniors from the very active, who now find themselves suddenly sedentary, to those with serious pre-existing health conditions, who are already limited in their ability to connect with others. In many ways, seniors have become the face of Covid-19. They are more vulnerable to the virus so we must reduce their risk.”

“In an outbreak such as Covid-19, everyone is at risk, which presents more significant challenges, particularly for higher at-risk populations such as seniors. The virus is transmitted through contact and proximity, yet human connection is necessary. And therein lies the extraordinary challenge we as a community will continue to meet head-on. We have been working very hard to expand services and increase capacity to prepare for the potential rise in the number of seniors with the need for home care,” the release stated.
Caring for their residents in a safe and healthy environment is their highest concern. The organisation assures the public that it is doing everything to protect residents and their team by maintaining strong infection control measures as recommended by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD).
