To our community,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a period of time in our history that\nis bringing great uncertainty to us all. We have seen a period of need for\nswift recognition of the COVID-19 Pandemic threat, and a need for great\nadjustment to the way in which we live and operate within our society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that the rate of change has slowed, as we\ncome to terms with the impact on our lives, and as we learn to adapt to the new\nnormal as it currently stands, I want to take the opportunity to reach out and\nprovide an update on Ascent\u2019s response to COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ascent Rehabilitation remains open and\noperational, and is continuing to adapt to the current climate with the same\ndesire to provide the high level of service provision you have come to know and\nexpect from us. Following the Government guidelines that those who can work\nfrom home should do so, the majority of our team have transitioned to a working\nfrom home arrangement. At present myself and Business Manager, Bronwen Stead,\ncontinue to operate from our Office Space. We are all utilising new methods of\ncommunication to ensure that we remain connected with our clients and\ncustomers, which include increased telecommunication and video conferencing\nmodalities; this is in lieu of our preferred in person meetings. When it is\nimperative that meetings are conducted in person, we strictly adhere to\nphysical distancing and hygiene practices. We will continue to adapt and align\nto the Government issued guidance as it is presented to us. We thank our\ncommunity for their support and adaptability during this time as we collaborate\nand explore new ways of connecting and working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to take this opportunity to\nrecognise the severity of the impact that the COVID-19 Pandemic is having on all\nareas of our community. We are all having to adjust in varying ways, which may\ninclude changing roles and expectations of each other and ourselves. We\nrecognise that for many, the opportunity to work has been taken away from them,\nand that for others it has required significant and unexpected changes, both\nhaving potentially significant social and economic consequence. What we are\nhearing, seeing and feeling right now is grief. We are in this with you and we\nare here for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For our current customers and clients, to\nhelp you in this crisis, you can expect that Ascent will be in regular contact\nwith you to help achieve the same outcomes of recovery and return of function.\nHowever, we acknowledge and recognise that you may or may not be able to return\nto your pre-COVID-19 roles and occupations. Thus, we will be discussing and\nexploring opportunities with you. While we are maintaining physical distancing,\nwe are ensuring that our social connectedness is stronger than ever. To achieve\nthis, you can expect we will be in regular contact to plan, problem solve and\nexecute with you. We will find alternate ways to communicate until such time we\ncan regularly meet in person again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we do not wish to diminish the impact\nof COVID-19, we endeavour to focus our attention on sources of hope and\noptimism. In addition to the direct support provided to our current clients and\ncustomers, we will be developing and sharing resources to our broader community\nto support you to adjust, adapt and find new ways of interpreting this journey\nare taking together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please feel free to reach\nout if we can be of further assistance to you in this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
