We Are Sick Of Covid Too!

This is how we are keeping our clients and home care assistants safe.

  • Prior to entering the home and before each shift, the employee answers a COVID-19 screening questionnaire to ensure they are not displaying any COVID symptoms. Once clear, they may proceed to enter client’s home.
  • Upon arrival, employees are to change into a clean uniform shirt and indoor shoes and wash or sanitize hands.
  • Mask to be worn by employee for full duration of their shift.
  • Personal belongings are left at the door.
  • Clients are also asked COVID-19 screening questions when employee enters their home.
  • If there are any visitors, they will also be asked COVID-19 screening questions and will be asked to maintain 2m distance and wear a mask (if possible).
  • Goggles/gloves/apron used for personal care and shower/bath assist.
  • Employees are to wash their hands continually during shift.
  • Employees to report any changes noticed to client condition or if COVID-19 symptoms are noticed at any time during their shift.
