PARSIPPANY — Although the business is closed and the over 80 clients remain at home, the staff at Morris Adult Day Care has been taking care of their clients’ needs.
They have clients throughout Northern New Jersey including Parsippany, Budd Lake, Chester, Flanders, Rockaway, Morristown, Morris Plains, West Caldwell, Verona, West Orange, Orange, Clifton, and Elmwood Park.
Every Thursday Night, Friday Night, and Saturdays the staff goes and purchases food, fruits, vegetables, and personal hygiene products to be delivered every Monday to each client.
They have been doing this since March 16 when they chose to close the doors for the clients and staff members’ health and well being.
In addition, the nurses and Linda Ciesielski-Lastella makes wellness calls to all of the 80 plus clients. They will call their doctors, families, and pharmacies when they are in need of care or medications.
“We go to work every morning for them, we have volunteers who help deliver all the Care packages on Monday. We also provide arts and crafts, word search and crossword puzzle books, model planes and cars, yarn, playing cards, and adult coloring pictures,” said Linda.
The Adult Day Care posts on their Facebook page several times a week, puzzles that can be done together with the answers posted two days later.
Linda Ciesielski-Lastella said “I do this because I need my Morris Family to remember that we are always there for them no matter what! They truly are my other family and I need to make sure they are healthy, happy, busy, and feeling that we have not forgotten them in this most unfortunate time. I will continue to do this as long as my families are homebound.”
