Kiran Yocom, Co-Founder of Seniors Helping Seniors recently appeared on WFMZ-TV 69 News to discuss how the brand has adapted their caregiving efforts in wake of COVID-19 to provide companionship and care for the elderly.
Mandatory quarantine guidelines can take a toll on mental health for seniors. However, Yocom explained how the brand has continued to engage with clients while preventing the spread of the virus at the same time. To ensure the safety and sanitation of caregivers and receivers, Seniors Helping Seniors advises that hands are washed and either masks or scarves are worn during visits.
"We don't tell them that we are not going to come because of COVID-19. We say, 'Of course. We will be there,' because we know these are the people who are craving for love” said Yocom.
Despite the health crisis, the companionship based company is overcoming today’s challenges and offering services in 47 states, keeping seniors happy and safe every day.
