COVID-19 INFORMATION
As mandatory restrictions are put into place to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Honest Home Care is continuing to focus on providing high-quality care. Home-based care for disabled persons, seniors, adults, and children are considered essential services during this time of crisis, and we’re still here for you and your home care needs. Concerns for those in need of caregiving services are completely understandable so rest assured that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and best practices are being followed so care can continue. Remaining in the home is being recommended for people everywhere to slow the spread of the disease. Professional caregivers have always been trained to take measures to minimize the spread of illnesses and promote safe caregiving. This practice continues and is more important than ever.
As part of CDC recommendations, the following protocols--in addition to existing infection control policies and procedures already in place—are being implemented:
Caregiver Wellness Checks
- Temperature checks, and monitoring for any Covid-19 related symptoms
Personal Protective Equipment
- Caregivers are required to wear facemasks and gloves while working with clients.
- We provide handsoap, sanitizer, gloves, masks and any other necessary PPE equipment.
Client Wellness Checks
- Honest Home Care is checking in virtually and/or by phone calls, on a regular basis, with all clients to ensure they are feeling well and to see if there is anything needed before the next scheduled visit.
- Clients who are not feeling well or are showing any symptoms of COVID-19 will be instructed to contact their healthcare provider or local health department immediately. We will also work together to identify how continued care needs will be met.
Enhanced Cleaning
- Cleaning and wiping down surfaces big and small from countertops and tables to light switches and doorknobs
- Frequent and consistent handwashing while in the home, before coming to the home and after leaving the home
- Continued virtual training on infection control and prevention and housekeeping to all caregivers
