OPEN ENROLLMENT - AFLAC SUPPLEMENT INSURANCE

Supplemental Insurance

AFLAC supplemental insurance provides an additional layer of financial protection for you and your family in the event of a serious accident or illness.

We are proud to offer Disability and Life Insurance among others for all employees that work 10 hours or more a week. Visit AFLAC Product to learn more about the coverages offered.

One of the most exciting elements of the AFLAC policy is that they are portable, which means you not only have the coverage while you work for us, but you can take it with you. Think about it - Life insurance with no underwriting, that you can keep for 10 years, even if you no longer work here.

If you are interested in receiving more information on the AFLAC coverages, please request additional information by requesting an information session with our Agent.

Virtual Employee Information meetings will be held Oct 24 and 25.

New CDC Guidlines for Covid-19

We are experiencing another round of active Covid-19 cases in West Michigan. Several of you have called the office recently because you tested positive or learned about a close contact exposure. Unfortunately, the virus is still with us and it is important to protect both ourselves and our seniors.

REMEMBER: APPROVED MASKS, GLOVES AND APRONS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE OFFICE.

Eff. 8/11/2 - The CDC has updated their Covid-19 guidelines to reflect the current environment of available vaccinations and boosters. Please note the current guidelines we must follow are below.

People who have had a Close Contact exposure should monitor their symptoms for 10 days and wear a mask for that time. (Cloth mask is not acceptable for Healthcare Professionals.)

Take two tests on Day Four and Day Five after your exposure, at least 24 hours apart. (Free tests are available through the post office. https://www.covid.gov/tests/)

·       No Work Restrictions. No quarantine period.

If Test Positive for Covid:

If mild, symptomatic COVID-19: 

• Isolation can end at 5 days after symptom onset and after fever ends for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and if symptoms are improving, AND

• if they can wear a well-fitted mask around others for 5 more days after the 5-day isolation period.

• Day 0 is the first day of symptoms.

If asymptomatic (never develop symptoms): 

• Isolation can end at least 5 days after the first positive test (with day 0 being the date their specimen was collected for the positive test), AND

• if they wear a properly well-fitted mask around others for 5 more days after the 5-day isolation period.

  • If symptoms develop after a positive test, their 5-day isolation period should start over (day 0 changes to the first day of symptoms).

People who have moderate COVID-19 illness: Isolate for 10 days.

All employees that test positive are removed from the schedule for 10 days from symptoms or test date. If you have a negative test after day 5, please call the office to be added back to the schedule.

Thank you for all you do to take care of the seniors in our community.

Working together - we make a difference

Welcome Summer - as we anticipate the start of summer here in West Michigan with the approaching Memorial Day weekend, we have much to celebrate! While Covid variants are occasionally knocking us off our game, the manageable response to the virus is answer to prayer. It was only 2 years ago that we were shut-in and uncertain of that the future would bring.

Nora and I want all of you to know, whether you have been with us through this whole stressful time, or recently joined our team, how every appreciative we are of all your work. Week after week you take care of the most vulnerable among our community. Because of you, your clients are living their last years in their homes where they want to be. Because of you, they are not alone! God Bless you!

This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God … for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 2 Corinthian 9:12

Reducing the Impact

In an effort to help you navigate the rising costs of gas, we have made a few changes in our scheduling operation. The biggest change you will experience is the average duration of our shifts.

In an effort to reduce your driving requirements, we are scheduling longer shifts. We have done this to keep you at the same number of hours each week, while reducing the miles you drive to client homes. All new clients are bought on with an understanding that our shifts are a minimum of 3 hours. We also work very hard to schedule either morning or afternoon shifts, so that you have the ability to complete two 3 hour shifts each day, while traveling to only 1 additional home.

As always you are invited to share your ideas to improve working for Managed Senior Care and our operations. Our 2022 employee survey will be sent out shortly. Please take a minute to reply. We look forward to hearing from you.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
