Our beneficiaries’ essential needs, welfare and well-being are at the heart of what we do.
Sometimes it is not possible for a person to travel to our Therapy Centre in Malvern. Our experience in COVID-19 has led to the expansion of our online therapy and training, so that clients can access support in their own homes via video-conferencing technology.
Living with Covid-19
Kay Coombes – CEO & Clinical Director at ARCOS explains the difficulties that have arisen since the onset of Covid 19 and how they are working as a charity to overcome these.
Before the crisis, we had already piloted an award-winning (Chambers of Commerce Innovation Through Technology Award and Impact of Technology on your Business-Regional Winner) way to extend, share and improve service delivery to our clients with impaired communication due to long-term neurological conditions.
This has now been expanded and is proving an efficient, popular, and cost-effective way to address unmet needs, reduce isolation and other consequences of communication disability.
Importantly it is a way of keeping critically vulnerable people, their families, and carers safe while still allowing them to continue vital training and therapy.
