“Our team’s solidarity and commitment to our clients and each other is guiding us through this extraordinary time.”

“We are Burnaby Home Support’s team of nurses/supervisors, educators, community health workers and timekeepers working together to bring care into our clients’ homes so they can maintain their independence and quality of life. Along with our leadership team, we support the day-to-day processes that bring client-specific services into the community and allow people to stay in their homes for as long as possible. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, one of the most pressing concerns was how to keep clients and our teams safe. Community health workers continued to provide care to clients every single day, while following safety protocols. Home Support teams diligently complied with rapidly changing directions regarding PPE as directed by the educators and leadership. Although there are so many ‘unknowns’ with this pandemic, our team’s solidarity and commitment to our clients and each other is guiding us through this extraordinary time.”
