- Educating our staff of signs and symptoms to know when to report concerns to FHC for their own safety and safety of clients.
- Monitoring all patients to ensure care plans are updated with optimal coverage so all needs are met.
- Safeguarding that all staff consistently wash their hands upon arrival in a client’s home (and before providing personal care), after providing personal care, and prior to preparing meals. Additionally, they make sure client has proper antibacterial wipes in home so staff can clean surfaces frequently.
- Offering some PPE personal protective equipment to our staff and patients, such as masks and gloves.*
- Monitoring temperatures of all caregivers with forehead thermometers.
- Offering vitamins to all staff members.
