Emerging situation due to COVID-19

India and other countries continue to face the deeply challenging and unpredictable situation caused by the spread of COVID-19. We are continuously monitoring the ever-changing circumstances surrounding the coronavirus, more so after the first confirmed case being reported in ...

These are trying times for everyone and our utmost priority is the health and wellbeing of our entire community, and our service towards you. We are also deeply aware of the fact that senior citizens are one of the most vulnerable segments and we are trying to do our best to ensure that we avoid spread of the virus by adopting measures advised by the Government. We have already provided and advised our staff to use face masks and gloves while accompanying / providing physical help to our members. In keeping with the Government advisory to restrict public gatherings, we have postponed all our ECS events/engagements till further notice.

In light of the recent developments, we think that it is now imperative to restrict non-essential contact with you to increase social distance, so that the spread of the virus can be contained. Hence, we are immediately restricting our visits to your homes for essential work only, like medicine purchase, accompanying you to the doctor, assisting you for withdrawal of cash from bank, purchase of essential grocery / food items and for essential administration issues of our service. For those of our members who are admitted to hospitals, we might have to limit our daily hospital visits, in response to the restrictions imposed by most hospitals.

We would like to assure you that our 24x7 support in case of medical emergencies will continue. For those of you who have availed our MLM and ERS services, we will continue to extend the services. We will also be available 24x7 over phone on 033-6638 8888.

Despite our best efforts and adoption of preventive measures, in the current situation, we anticipate that our service assurance and service delivery may face challenges due to factors beyond our control, such as restrictions enforced at many places to contain the outbreak.

We understand that the situation is worrying and are handling it with the diligence and attention that it deserves. Our teams are committed to working through these difficult times as effectively as possible and in a manner that keeps everyone safe and your wellbeing is not compromised.
