Case Study: Compassionate Care During COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic posed unique challenges to health care providers and support services, especially when ensuring the safety and well-being of clients living in shared accommodations. This case study explores how “CARE WITH US” successfully navigated these challenges to provide exceptional care and support to a client diagnosed with COVID-19, ensuring her safety and recovery while maintaining emotional and psychological support throughout the isolation period.
The Background
A female client in her mid-forties, living in shared accommodation, tested positive for COVID-19. Given the high risk of transmission to others and her vulnerability due to pre-existing conditions, immediate action was required to isolate her safely and provide necessary care.
The Challenge
The main challenges were:
- Quickly finding a suitable location for isolation that catered to her medical and personal needs without disrupting the safety protocols.
- Ensuring continuous medical supervision and emotional support in a non-hospital setting.
- Coordinating with healthcare professionals, managing transportation, and ensuring all necessary supplies were available promptly.
Our Solution
Our Immediate Response

- Developed a personalized care plan in collaboration with healthcare professionals, tailored to monitor her health condition rigorously and address potential complications.
Our Dedicated Support:
- Mohit, an experienced support worker, was assigned to manage her daily needs. He was trained in COVID-19 care procedures and equipped with PPE to ensure safety for both the client and himself.
- Included health checks, symptom management, medication administration, and preparation of nutritious meals specifically designed to boost the immune system.
- Regular video calls with family and friends, along with virtual entertainment options, were arranged to keep her spirits high.
Our Implementation
- The team mobilized within hours after the diagnosis, arranging transportation to the STA and setting up the necessary care infrastructure.
- Established a seamless communication line among healthcare providers, support workers, and family members to keep everyone informed and engaged in the client’s recovery process.
- Strict health and safety protocols were followed, including regular sanitization of the accommodation and proper disposal of medical waste.
The Outcome
