What to Know About COVID-19 Before Setting Up Care
Many families are balancing the risks of non-family members coming into their homes and the benefits of trained caregivers supporting their loved one’s critical needs. While home is the safest place for your loved one, not all home care agencies are created equal. Be sure you’re working with an agency that prioritizes the health and well-being of your family and your caregivers and has systems and protocols in place to support your safety.
At the start of the coronavirus outbreak, we created a dedicated COVID-19 response team that’s been working around the clock to update each of our policies and procedures to support safer practices for our Care Pros and Clients. Based on this work, we’ve created our COVID-19 ready program that greatly helps reduce the risk of exposure. The list below contains the measure we’ve taken. If you’re researching home care options, you should be keeping an eye out for similar programs.
