My heart aches watching your story. I think a part of all LTC health care workers have kept parts of 2020 to ourselves. Thinking that our story was just isolated to our own facility but to hear this and know it was not just one or two but everywhere was affected. When you feel like you have done everything you could but still covid came. Thoughts and prayers to you all ❤️
If we all pray with our truest intention I brevet we might make it. Our God is looking for humble true efforts backed by our Love for Him. Let us keep growing in Light! Happy Chanukah.
As im watching this video I am in tears!!! This video really hit home....im a cna and I worked covid unit
I pray that God will always be with resident's and staff in Nursing Homes . May God protect all people in Nursing Homes in America . Amen
Perfectly told our story....thank you for giving us a voice
This is an incredible documentary thank you so much for sharing these hero's stories! They deserve more recognition and support!
Very moving video :) We're a nursing home in Maine owing our success to our entire staff! Thank you for making this video for them!
This documentary is so Powerful!! We didn’t get to see the inside of skilled nursing facilities, the trauma and never ending sacrifices these Hero’s gave daily. I am so emotional with tears running down my cheeks as my dad spent his last 5 months at Edgewood passing before COVID struck. They are skilled in their jobs, compassionate, loving and selfless as are so many all around this country. We owe them our respect and gratitude.. Thank you for creating this Documentary it sheds light on just how devastating it was and still is yet how much hope there is! Vaccinations work! Help stop the spread!
I am so grateful for your story and for all workers in long term care! We all bear the scars of living through this global pandemic especially in skilled nursing and assisted living communities.
I am crying in the first 3 minutes, remembering what we all went through. Thank you for telling this story, our story.
omg. me too. pass the tissues
I work in a Skilled Nursing Facility for my clinicals as a student nurse. I want to go back to each and every place I served in but I’ve been to three already and it makes me sad. It is true, you’ll never want to leave when you’ve served for that long.
The day the plastic came down, I danced down the hall with my phone in hand playing music.
The struggle is real!
I'm sorry to hear about yours as well as many others losses. With that being said, I'd like to thank you for sharing your story with me and the rest of the world!
Such a powerful story!
Each and every individual who worked through the utmost chaos and fear in compromised situations like nursing homes, hospitals, Senior communities, grocery stores, food industry, retail, etc from March 2020 through now and who continue to, are God’s gifts. Especially those who were and are caring for those who can’t help themselves. This video reminded me why I need to get my booster (even if I don’t want to); so I don’t compromise someone else’s well-being. Thank you for making this video…
I am a Nurse and NO you cannot teach people to care. You must keep the ones that do.
Im.a cna i left bc my rn and boss didn't care it makes me sad i love what I do .
The depth of the commitment involves giving what is needed.We are working beyond our ability to Give. We feel the love that those we care for need But, what I am seeing is that our efforts matter more than "Vaccines". The most important aspect is Preserving Quality of life! We have worked beyond our Capacity to Deliver. Being focused on the needs mean so much more than appearances. There is much effort that involves caring for our Elders. They deserve! They have already done their PART in History! I would say that knowing Science as I do,, I have come to understand that we need to have more Love and Less Fear and Give just That!
the video makes it seem like it is over. People in the facilities are still dying from COVID
I am a caretaker and I love my job.I feel that I am we’re I’m supposed to be.It brings me joy to my ❤️
My gorgeous wife works there ❤
