Several weeks ago, we shared this graphic. It shows how we respond to the COVID pandemic in stages, starting in fear, moving into learning, and finally into growth. How do you want to be?
Two medical directors who have been on the forefront of COVID outbreaks at nursing homes around the country recently had this advice:
Love one another. And be sure to say it. Tell your co workers what they did well. Tell your family and friends that you care about them.
Be present in the moment. Enjoy it. Say out loud what the moment is.
Understand that you make a difference, every day, by your example. Whether you want to or not! If you wash your hands longer, your co workers will too. If you take an extra moment to show kindness to a resident or co worker, you’ll see other people doing the same.
Please be safe and know that your LiveWell team is wishing you the best. Let us know what you’re doing in your communities to move from fear to growth during this pandemic.
We would love to hear from you. — Coach Barbara
