Handling_COVID_and_the_Holidays___5_Tips-compressed
We’re doing the extra things to make sure we’re keeping our clients, their loved ones, and our vulnerable population safe.
- We are fully stocked on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including masks, gowns, gloves and goggles. We’re ensuring distribution is effective for all team members and clients
- Whenever we are providing care in a client’s home, we always wear a mask (in addition to standard precautions)
- For COVID-19 presumptive or positive cases, we’re using full droplet precautions
- We have extensive protocols in place for testing, tracking and screening
- All clients get a COVID-19 screener completed with every visit, and all team members complete a COVID-19 screener daily
- We’ve developed a consistency score to minimize the number of staff coming into a client’s home. This score takes into account things like how many hours a client has in a week.
- We have a Registered Nurse in-house to manage and monitor all clients
- We have extensive COVID-19 protocols and testing requirements in place for all scenarios including possible exposures and COVID-19 positive cases. No team member with COVID symptoms can work until they are medically cleared (even if they do not have COVID).
