In May, Leading Age in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services awarded Christopher Homes the “We Can Do This” grant. Christopher Homes is the only Louisiana agency awarded the grant, which provided funds for COVID vaccine clinics for our residents.
Over four weeks, our Service Coordination team facilitated 16 on-site vaccine clinics – covering every Christopher Homes property – with local pharmacies administering the vaccine. More than 300 residents received vaccines at the clinics. Residents were grateful to have the convenient opportunity to protect themselves and many encouraged their neighbors to take advantage of the clinics as well.
We appreciate the coordination between our managers, staff, service coordinators and local health representatives for the benefit of our senior residents.
