As the Covid-19 pandemic developed, from the end of 2019, Namaste Care practitioners globally adapted the programme to ensure continuity for those most in need, and this continues to evolve.
Some people now receive Namaste Care within the social bubble of their care home or in the care home unit. Others are offered Namaste Care one-to-one at the bedside. We are passionate about sharing our important message with the rest of the world – for people to still be ‘touched’ and for connections to be made and maintained. In today’s fast-paced world older people can become overlooked and undervalued, particularly in the West, but in other cultures reaching hold age is respected as an achievement and a mark of wisdom.
The real heroes have been those who have stepped up to the plate and responded by putting themselves on the line during the pandemic.
