From ourtownny.com comes an article about the front line staff who have been with COVID-19 in group homes for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities., including a story about the staff and residents of AHRC NYC’s Greenberg and Pembrooke residences.
“When the virus started to move around New York City, we kind of were a perfect storm,” said Marco Damiani, AHRC NYC’s CEO. “Unfortunately, we have lots and lots of people that have health risks, they’re immunosuppressed in some cases and have other conditions.”
If someone starts to display symptoms, Damiani said they are essentially treated as though they have been tested positive and are heavily treated and monitored by staff.
