Coronavirus (COVID-19)

When looking at care options, consider home care as an option due to its ability to keep the elderly safe and independent in their own home by promoting social distancing.

Caregivers can pick up groceries, medications, and other items that seniors need, minimizing their interaction with other people who may have been infected with the virus.

Our caregivers and team members have received training regarding these virus protocols:

  • Symptoms
  • Travel reporting requirements
  • Respiratory etiquette
  • Safety protocols
  • Proper handwashing techniques
  • Warning signs of illness
  • Infection control, including effective disinfecting of surfaces and hands

Clients and families should report the following to their Care Manager if they:

  • Are infected or being treated for possible infection of COVID-19
  • Have traveled to a location on the CDC advisory list
  • Have limited mobility and need support in getting medical supplies or basic necessities (water, gloves, cleaning products, etc.)

Our team will not place a caregiver with a client for a minimum of two weeks or until cleared by a medical provider if the caregiver has:

  • Traveled to a location on the CDC advisory list in the prior two months
  • Been exposed to a place where COVID- 19 is being treated
  • Started showing symptoms of the virus

Our team will not place a caregiver who has symptoms of virus infection on assignment or accept new clients who show symptoms that are highly consistent with the COVID-19 diagnosis or who have traveled to Level one through three areas in the last two weeks.
