Companion Home Care staff wear new donated masks to prepare and deliver fresh meals to local seniors.
Michelle Belton is the owner of Companion Home Care, a Roanoke area provider of home health care for seniors and adults.
While contemplating ways to help her senior home care clients cope with the recent crisis, Belton had an idea.
She decided to assemble a small team of Companion Home Care staff that would purchase, prepare, and deliver fresh meals to Companion Home Care clients.
Caregivers Candy Smith and Jennie Robertson volunteered to help with the project. Belton would provide the fund to purchase the items, Smith would do most of the cooking, and Robertson would handle dessert and delivery. Meals were provided to the seniors completely free of charge.
Belton stated, “The clients and their families really loved it because in a lot of cases family members were getting off work after a long day and then had to go visit Mom or Dad to cook supper. It was just a fantastic way to uplift our home care clients and to say an extra ‘thank you’ to them.”
Regarding the fancy face masks that contain the trademark Companion Home Care sunflowers, Belton said she had a friend to thank for those.
“Huge thank you to our friend Stacey for the beautiful masks. She handmade them, brought them to us, and absolutely refused to accept any payment. The staff and I really love them,” said Belton.
Belton added that they are looking forward to coming up with new ways to provide extra help to their clients in the future.
