Once again, in order to raise public awareness, |
Just a reminder . .We do our best to help all that we can, but sometimes we are not able to be of assistance to some individuals, particularly patients that have mobility issues. When the office gets a request for transportation, we try our best to ascertain if they are able to enter and leave a volunteer's vehicle with no or very limited assistance. If they are not, they must be accompanied by either a professional care giver or some other person who is qualified to provide lifting assistance. If the volunteer feels comfortable offering a steadying hand, that is within the guidelines. However, if you find yourself with a care receiver who is unable to transfer her/himself, let the ECHHO office know immediately. We all want to help as much as we can and must prioritize the safety of the care receiver as well as the volunteer. |
Thanks again for all you do!ECHHO volunteers are so appreciated by those they help. We at the office receive thanks every single day from those we serve. Your selfless acts of kindness and your willingness to help are exemplary for our community! |
