“Not in the usual way”

I hope this message from Health Projects Center finds you coping well during this stressful time. I write to let you know that our vital work supporting medically frail elders and family caregivers continues despite the challenges presented by COVID 19. The Del Mar Caregiver Resource Center and Multipurpose Senior Services Center will continue to serve clients. We are modifying our services as recommended by public health experts to protect our clients, staff and the public. We will be communicating with clients primarily using telephone and soon video conferencing. Our offices are closed to the public, but staff are available by phone and email during regular business hours. We are committed to the health and wellbeing of our community and will keep vital supportive services in place and available.
Sincerely,
John Beleutz, Executive Director

Caregiving 101: San Benito County Provides Resources
