4.13.20 Chapman Concierge Coronavirus Updates
Good morning. We hope that you had a great weekend. We wanted to give you a brief update on our status. As of today, Monday, April 13th, we’re battling through limited staff and limited accessibility to some locations that we service.
Our number one priority is always the health, safety, and well-being of our employees, clients, and service partners. We continue to follow comprehensive health and safety procedures from all the relevant authorities and organizations. Depending on local legislation and best practice, Chapman Concierge has had to reduce the services we offer drastically. Facing a 90% loss of business has been challenging, and although we continue to strive to provide you with the service and quality you have come to expect, the past few weeks has been an uphill battle.
Our employees and service partners are anxious to get back to business as usual and know that these changes are temporary but essential, as we all play our part to help flatten the curve. We are so appreciative of your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
We will continue to offer updates and explanations as we have them. Please reach out if we may be of assistance, we are so thankful for your continued support – it means the world to the entire Chapman Concierge team.
Please continue to visit here for additional health and wellness resources and here for news and announcements.
4.4.20 Concierge Update
We continue to worry about the health of our families, our livelihoods, and our futures. Our service partners are continuing to experience staffing shortages and we are doing our best to work with all client service requests. All on-site concierge teams continue to support the distancing guidelines put in place and are wearing PPE while on duty.
Housekeeping Services
Housekeeping partners continue to follow all CDC and Health Department guidelines. We continue to ask that clients cancel their appointment if they fall ill and to let us know if they have had contact with anyone with an illness that could compromise the health and safety of the crew. Please help us in keeping everyone safe and healthy.
Many of the multi-family properties we service have put a hold on outside vendors. If you have scheduled services and know that your property will not allow outside vendors, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can adjust the cleaning crew’s schedules. All clients have already experienced schedule reductions as we move to a one or two-day weekday schedule at most locations.
Dry Cleaning and Laundry Services: Our service partners are unable to continue offering dry cleaning and laundry deliveries. Services will begin again when the shelter in place ban is lifted.
Administrative Support: Should you need to schedule virtual support services, please do not hesitate to contact our lifestyle management specialists that are on hand to assist you with any needs you may have.
Errand-Running and General Lifestyle Management Support: Due to limited staff availability, we will only be able to service previously confirmed clients through May 1st.

We follow the guidelines set by local and federal agencies, including the Center for Disease Control (CDC), The World Health Organization (WHO), and the New Jersey Department of Public Health.
Staff and Service Provider Updates
We are working with a limited staff, and our service partners are experiencing unprecedented staffing shortages as well. If an employee is not feeling well (whether or not they exhibit symptoms of COVID 19, been tested for COVID 19 or know to have been exposed to the coronavirus), they are not to report to work, this has severely limited some of our on-site teams. All on-site concierge teams continue to support the distancing guidelines put in place and have been given recommended equipment to use while on shift.

Please help us in keeping everyone safe and healthy.
Some of the multi-family properties we service have put a hold on outside vendors. If you have scheduled services and know that your property will not allow outside vendors, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can adjust the cleaning crew’s schedules. Some clients have already experienced schedule reductions, and unfortunately, we expect this to continue through April.
Dry Cleaning and Laundry Services: Our service partners are continuing trips to properties upon request and have turnaround time is now three-four business days versus the standard one day turn around time.
Administrative Support, Errand-Running, and General Lifestyle Management Services: We will continue offering these services for elderly and compromised clients that are currently on our schedule. Unfortunately, as our staff is limited, these appointments are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and most are filled for the next few weeks.
