Over coronavirus, we will persevere
The spread of Novel Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has made this a time of unprecedented uncertainty. We at Full Life Care have been working around the clock since late February to ensure the safety of our clients and employees and volunteers.
In consultation with federal, state and local public health officials, we have devised protocols for service delivery and, as everyone in the state, we have been forced to make drastic changes in our operations.
As new information and guidance is shared by public health officials, we are adjusting. We will keep you abreast of significant changes. Rest assured, with diligence, strong guidance from medical experts and responsible actions among ourselves, we will get through this.
How you can help Full Life
- Practice social distancing. It’s an act of care. Together, we can avoid over-burdening our healthcare system and causing further harm.
- Fight isolation by creating handmade or handwritten cards of encouragement for our elders. A great activity for your kids! We will send or deliver these to elders coping with increased isolation. Please send to Full Life Care, Volunteer Department, 800 Jefferson Street, Suite 620, Seattle, WA 98104.
- Donate, now. If you are financially secure or currently earning income. Make a donation today!
