This week, April 18-24, is National Volunteer Week in Canada and the United States, and we wanted to take a moment to thank all of our amazing volunteers for writing letters to our homebound seniors receiving in-home personal care. Your volunteerism means the world not only to the seniors that we serve but also to Meritan. We could not do what we do without all of our amazing volunteers. We wanted to highlight our Volunteer of the Month, Courtney Spencer.

We are on the Front Lines of COVID-19!

Shelby County, TN began their phase 1 rollout of COVID vaccinations in the first week of January 2021. The COVID vaccinations were for direct health care workers, first responders, and some other groups.

Meet Shirley, Meritan's Silver Bell Spotlight

Meet one of our Meritan’s Silver Bell seniors, Shirley. This year, she asked for diabetic socks, a blouse, and a scarf for her Silver Bells gifts. Every year, she waits until Christmas Day to open up her gifts.

Why get the Flu Shot?

Why is the flu vaccine essential this year? It is an essential part of protecting public health and to help prevent the overrun of our healthcare system. With the dual threat of flu and COVID-19 this fall and winter, we need all to do what we can right now by getting a flu vaccine.
