Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
www.cdc.gov
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China.Our sincerest gratitude to Abby Evanko-Weber for her generous gift of 33 homemade masks for our staff and volunteers. So important for everyone to wear face-covering when out in public right now.
Help us weather the storm of Covid-19. During this Covid-19 pandemic, our clinicians and staff are working to keep our patients, their families and themselves safe and out of the hospitals.
Some patients are, of course, concerned about someone coming into their home so we are making phone calls and checking in. We are losing significant funding. We are not fully reimbursed for the care we are currently providing to many patients.
We need your help now. Your gift will keep us afloat during this uncertain time. We did not budget for this crisis. Our emergency funding cannot handle the enormity of this pandemic.
Your support has kept us strong for so long. We need your support now. Your gift now will keep us going through this uncertain time.

Nancy Powell Wilson said her brother’s memorial service can wait until the pandemic has passedWhat we are doing to help prevent the spread of Covid-19:
As healthcare providers, we are diligently protecting the safety of our staff and our patients. Here are the steps we are taking to make sure everyone is safe from Covid-19.
Personal Protection Equipment
Staff is utilizing the necessary masks, gloves, and sanitizing agents each time they visit patients. Our clinicians are very well versed in the techniques to maintain a clean environment when they are in the home. We have reviewed these steps with clinicians and provided additional tutorials. Hand washing and sanitizing equipment happens multiple times during each home visit.
Staff Self Reporting
Staff is screened every morning by 8AM to ensure they had no exposure or exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19. Any staff who think they may have had exposure or develop symptoms are immediately removed from schedules and self-quarantined
Social Distancing
Our non-clinical staff – administration, finance, human resources, billing, development – are all working remotely. Our office is closed although one or two staff members are there if anyone needs to go to our office. Please call our main number at 970-930-6008 if you need to visit the office. Our social work and chaplain staff are making their visits over the phone to stay in touch with patients and families.
Support
We have a support line set up in case anyone in our communities is feeling anxious or troubled during this time. Isolation can bring about these feelings and we want to give everyone the opportunity to reach out to speak with one of our chaplains for support. You can reach them directly at 970-930-6029.
Food and Supplies
We have staff who are coordinating distributing food and supplies to patients and their families in need. Please let your case manager know if you find yourself without food or supplies. We will work to get items delivered to you.
