With the global Covid-19 pandemic presenting challenges we could never have foreseen, it feels like hope is finally in sight. The UK-wide vaccination campaign is well underway, and our carers have received their vaccines, as have our clients.
After a hugely uncertain time, our staff and their clients across Stirlingshire and West Dunbartonshire feel hugely relieved and less vulnerable. Thanks to the vaccination programme, they have now been able to add another layer of protection against the virus.
Covid-19 Vaccinations
The Covid vaccine is the result of countries, governments and the scientific community coming together to create something in record time.
Whilst it’s been a difficult year for us all, our staff and clients here at Hamill Homecare were particularly delighted when the news broke that multiple vaccines had been declared safe for use.
Our staff and clients have each had their full dose or their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. This takes a massive weight off of everyone’s mind. Safety will continue to be our priority throughout the pandemic – but the vaccine does put our minds at ease. From the moment the pandemic began, we instituted a strict Covid-19 policy which has evolved as we learned more over time. You can read the latest version here.
How our clients feel
There’s a feeling of hope. We asked our clients what they’d say to anyone who’s unsure or nervous about taking the Covid-19 vaccination and the overwhelming response from every single one was, ‘go for it!’
We agree. We’re carefully optimistic about the future now that more and more people are getting their vaccines giving us access to more and more freedom.
We can’t wait to get back to taking our clients out on day trips to their favourite places. Whether it’s a trip to the beach, a visit to Comic Con, a day out watching rugby at Murrayfield or simply enjoying the surroundings of Stirlingshire’s incredible rural countryside rather than “staying at home”, being able to go above and beyond to give our clients a sense of normality is such a key part of our service.
And seeing the joy provided by those experiences is what makes being a carer special. It really is a privilege to share those special moments with our clients.
Thanking our wonderful staff
We’re also thanking our wonderful staff for their efforts everyday throughout the whole pandemic – and we’re so thrilled they’ve received their vaccinations.
We also asked them how they’re feeling now they have been fully vaccinated. Our care staff are feeling more optimistic than ever that a return to ‘normal’ is coming our way soon. We’re proud of how they’ve faced the challenges of the past year head on and have continued to provide an incredible quality of service.
