COVID-19 Response

At UCP, we take the health and safety of the people we support and our employees extremely seriously, so a comprehensive response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a top health priority. We are constantly reviewing guidance from the CDC, Georgia Department of Public Health, and other public health experts on the most effective ways to remain safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using that information along with internal conversations with key team members, we’ve implemented a flexible, comprehensive response for preventing spread of this contagious virus within our programs and facilities.

In the event the virus spreads in or near communities where UCP operates, we are fully prepared to make changes to the way we manage our response. Our programmatic decisions regarding COVID-19 are based on the most current trends in community transmission rates.

In addition to our internal response, we urge you to stay updated on the progression of COVID-19 in Georgia and its impact on people with disabilities:

UCP of Georgia is a lifeline for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As we cover extra staffing, extra food, extra medication, and other supplies to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we ask that you consider donating to help us sustain quality support of those who rely on us.

We are grateful for the continued support of our communities. Please do reach out if you have specific questions about our COVID-19 response.
