Work at an Adult day care
One way to get a jump-start on understanding what it's like to work as a caregiver, is volunteer at the center. It's a great way to "test" run working with adults before getting a full or part-time job.
People that wish to have a career in health care, such as certified nurse assistant or nursing, should find a way to volunteer in day centers. These experiences help people get a good handle on how demanding healthcare is and how fulfilling it is.
Day Care centers for adults have a wide range of clients, from young disabled clients to the elderly.
Adult day care is different from the day care like ones for children.
Adult day care centers provide respite to family caregivers and clients, who are the patrons of adult centers. They're called clients or participants, not patients or residents. It's a favored term for both older adults and those living with disabilities. It's not just a term used to re-name them; it's a mark of respect.
Today, client and participants have rights too, like patients and residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. They receive more respect than ever and their quality of life is markedly improved.

Amist the Covid 19 pandemic, we are currently getting heatwaves. The fight against the Coronavirus isn’t over. With Summer starting on June 20, 2020 it is necessary for New York City to protect its most vulnerable citizens. “Seniors who are low income are suffering right now,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio in a recent city address. “We need to make sure they are protected against the heat ahead. The idea of GetCool NYC is to focus on those who are most vulnerable – make sure they are safe, make sure they’re kept cool.”

If you don’t have an AC at home there’s a way you can contact the city to apply for one. Also, although our community center is closed, we are still delivering food and providing great telemonotering services. As many of us may not have anyone to assist during Covid 19, we are available to our community and are actively assisting people.
