WHEN COVID -19 HIT OUR CITY IN MARCH 2020 AND THE GOVERNOR IMPOSED SANCTIONS ON LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES, WE HAD TO RE-ARRANGE OUR ACTIVITIES. UNTIL IT IS ONCE AGAIN SAFE FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO BE IN THE PUBLIC FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, WE HAVE BEEN GETTING CREATIVE WITH WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE BUILDING TO KEEP THEM ENGANGED AND ACTIVE. WE GO FOR GROUP WALKS/RIDES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS WILL VENTURE OUT ON THEIR OWN WALKS, OR WHEELCHAIR RIDES. OUR THERAPEUTIC GARDEN CONTINUES TO BE A PLACE THEY CAN ENJOY NATURE AND THE OUTDOORS, WHILE FEELING SAFE AT THE SAME TIME. ALL RESIDENTS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH VISUAL AND OTHER PHYSICAL IMPAIRMENTS, ARE ENCOURAGED TO SPEND TIME OUTDOORS WHEN POSSIBLE. THE WORK AT OUR HOUSE CONTINUALLY EVOLVES, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE EVER CHANGING HIV VIRUS AND THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR RESIDENTS. MUCH OF OUR RECENT WORK IS CENTERED AROUND ADDRESSING COMPLEX CO-MORBIDITIES, AS WELL AS DIFFICULT BEHAVIORAL AND COGNITIVE ISSUES. OUR CONTINUING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ARE CENTERED AROUND CURRENT ISSUES OF BEHAVIOR, NUTRITION, DIVERSITY AND OTHER IMPORTANT TOPICS.
